I'm about to design a research project with my PhD student to measure the impact of digitalization on the effectiveness of language teaching and learning. I have reviewed literature but I found hardly anything in this field. Could you recommend any usable sources? Thanks.
I haven't seen any comprehensive study but there is reseraha round using digital readers especially kindle make any difference in learning. Do people read academic papers using kindle. There is also a discussion on this topic here in RG

Hi Szabolcs,
I think you need to narrow down the research area as is it looks very broad (therefore difficulty with finding sources because there are many). A few suggestions on how this can be done: a) by subject: foreign, second or mother tongue and /or language aspect (e.g. vocabulary, etc); b) by target population: adults, K-12 students; c) digitization also needs to be operationalized: do you mean specific technology, e.g. e-reader (see the above response); or an approach like CALL(computer assisted language learning) or games in language learning. In this regard, here are a few systematic reviews of research of ICT in l-ge teaching and learning (start. 2015):
Sung, Y. T., Chang, K. E., & Yang, J. M. (2015). How effective are mobile devices for language learning? A meta-analysis. Educational research review, 16, 68-84.
Takacs, Z. K., Swart, E. K., & Bus, A. G. (2015). Benefits and pitfalls of multimedia and interactive features in technology-enhanced storybooks: A meta-analysis. Review of educational research, 85(4), 698-739.
Tsai, Y. L., & Tsai, C. C. (2018). Digital game-based second-language vocabulary learning and conditions of research designs: A meta-analysis study. Computers & Education, 125, 345-357.
Let me know if you want to discuss this more.
My very best,
Larysa
Benefits are innumerable including

Thank you so much for your valuable contributions. I'm working on this project with my PhD student, who owns a language school in Hungary, to investigate how digitalization affects language teaching services (doing business) and the ways to learn new languages (consumer habits). Language school effectiveness can be measured by the number or ratio of students who obtained a certain level of knowledge, the time spent on reaching this specific level, student satisfaction, loyalty, etc. Actually, the scope is really too broad, and must be more specific. We are working on it based on your feedbacks.
