The attitude towards the use of the digital platform “Reading Oceans” and lexicon development among pre-teen EFL level 06 course students at Copei language school – year 2019.

Description: Students at Copei language school perform their reading practice through the use of a digital platform called “Reading Oceans”; for complementing their EFL language learning process. Authorities found out that students were struggling in the completion of their assigned tasks on the Reading Oceans Digital Platform (RODP). The present research examined the relationship between the students’ attitude towards the use of the digital platform “Reading Oceans” and their lexicon development among pre-teens of EFL course at COPEI language school. The age range of the students who were part of the study was 9-13 years old. A correlational design was selected to complete this study, and, a quantitative focus was also used. A negative association was found between students’ lexicon development and their performance on the Reading Oceans Platform. The study has found that students who present a deficient performance in the RODP tasks completion could be negatively influenced in their EFL language learning process, since their vocabulary inventory has not been increased.
