The reading habits of university students studying English language and literature in the digital age

Abstract

The present reading habits and attitudes of Atatürk University English Language and Literature students
are the focus of this research. In addition, it seeks to ascertain how reading habits have been impacted by
the extensive use of the internet and other alternative multimedia resources. We administered a survey to
seventy-six college students at random in order to get a feel for their present reading habits. Demographic
information, reading frequency, online reading material, online activities, first click content, and reading
habit development approaches were the six parts of the questionnaire. The data was analysed using the
SPSS Statistics 20 software. Researchers sought to understand students' reading habits generally and
offered recommendations on how to encourage reading among today's tech-dependent college students.
