Abstract
Reading is a critical skill in language acquisition involving various cognitive and linguistic processes. A good size of vocabulary is required for reading comprehension. However, language learners have been reported to face challenges in grasping unfamiliar words. Recent technological advances might assist learners in language learning in this regard. One instrument is Readlang – a web-based technology that allows users to translate words and phrases in any text on any website. Given the potential pedagogical benefits, this review intends to evaluate Readlang, outlining its features, tackling its affordances for reading skills, and delineating its impediments. Results suggest that Readlang could foster language learning and practice in higher education contexts.
