Experiences from Korea


Meurant, R. C. (2010, April). How Computer-Based Internet-Hosted Learning Management Systems such as Moodle Can Help Develop L2 Digital Literacy, International Journal of Multimedia and Ubiquitous Engineering 5(2).
 
The author reported the employment of Computer-based Internet-hosted Learning Management Systems (LMS), for example Moodle applied in the research here. By setting the LMS to force English to be used exclusively throughout a course website, the author found that students developed the ability to use English to navigate the internet, access and contribute to online resources, and engage in computer-mediated communication. Students’ significant improvement made in L2 Digital Literacy was observed.   
 
This article draws back my confusion again with the L1 digital literacies, L2 digital literacy, and L2 digital literacies.

What do “L2 digital literacies” include? What is the deficit between a person’s L1 digital litercies and his L2 digital literacies if he is absolutely L1 literate? Is it a second language only?

What is the difference between L2 digital literacy and L2 digital literacies?

Does anyone have any explanation? Thanks.
