ATTENTION MATTERS Series

Technology’s Impact on Attention Retention and EFL Learning
With Joanna Paolinelli

This webinar explores how EFL learners can navigate the reality of fragmented attention in digital environments. Research from King’s College London (2022) highlights that nearly 50% of individuals—especially younger users immersed in digital media—experience shorter attention spans. The constant switching between apps and multitasking is not just a challenge but a defining feature of modern cognition.
Rather than viewing this shift as an obstacle, we will examine how learners can balance moments of fragmented attention with intentional, focused engagement. How can educators and learners create structured yet flexible learning moments that work within, rather than against, the realities of digital engagement? This session will explore strategies that leverage technology to enhance language learning—through listening, reading, speaking, and interactive engagement—while fostering deeper retention and comprehension.

By embracing new patterns of attention rather than resisting them, we can develop practical approaches to help learners thrive in today’s tech-driven world.

ATTENTION MATTERS Series

Using visual literacy strategies to develop attention in the language classroom
With Kieran Donaghy

Research suggests the average attention span may be decreasing and that we cannot pay attention as well as we used to. One reason for this decline in attention span is the constant bombardment of information, particularly in the form of visual and multimodal media, we receive. In this season we will explore how visual literacy strategies can be used in the language classroom to help student to develop attention. These visual literacy strategies have been used in general education for several decades and are now increasingly being used in the language classroom. Teachers will go away from the session with a clear understanding of the importance of visual literacy in language education and several tired-and-tested visual literacy strategies to use with their students to help to develop attention.
