(Juliana do Amaral, Marília Camponogara Torres, Lêda Maria Braga Tomitch).

1. “[...] It is essential that teachers acknowledge the fact that reading hypertexts is a more cognitively

3. from multiple sources. Besides, teachers need to develop students’ awareness when reading digital texts

6. environment. In this way, fostering the students’ metacognition in reading in a second/foreign language
7. is essential to improve their competence as readers of both printed and digital texts.” (p. 143)
