| description | The integration of digital infographics in language classrooms has developed into an innovative approach to promote
academic discourse and student engagement. However, given the limitations of traditional teaching methods, there
is a need to improve student engagement and information transfer in language classrooms. This study explores the
potential use of digital infographics as an information-transfer model for academic discourse. It aims to answer two
primary research questions: 1) What are the features of digital infographics used by students to organise and deliver
information during language classroom discourse? and 2) How can teachers help students use digital infographics in
classroom discourse? A qualitative research design was employed. 44 students reviewed selected documentaries,
created digital infographics, and presented their reviews to small groups of students. The digital infographics were
then collected and analysed by two experienced raters. Coding was used to systematically categorise the data. The
thematic areas emerged from the data were then explored. The findings indicated that information organisation, as
well as the aesthetics and functionality of the digital infographics, are features that should be included when
considering digital infographics as an information-transfer model for language classrooms. This study then identified
teaching strategies to help students use digital infographics in classroom discourse. The study proposes Digital
Infographics Information-Transfer Model (DITRAM) to facilitate the effective integration of digital infographics in
the language classroom. In conclusion, the study provides a better understanding of how digital infographics can be
structured and used to convey information in academic discourse in the language classroom. |
