Abstract

This article emphasizes the importance of conducting research and how it helps learners to be better at digitally literate citizens in this ever rapidly growing high-tech era. In this article, one can infer that it is vital for educators to connect learners' background knowledge before introducing a new lesson to meet their expectations. Only when students can see personalization or connection between what they are going to study and what they have experienced so far in connection with the current material. It is no secret that these days mixed cultural students can be found in the same classroom where they have a diverse cultural specification, political views, social identities as well as languages. Therefore, much depends on teachers how to (re)construct the material in such a way that it can fulfill learners' demands.
