Description¶
The article frames intertextuality as texts sharing with and cooperating with other texts, and defines intertextual reading as "producing new meanings by setting up relationships among the thoughts and ideas of the texts" (Akyol, 2010), running two or more texts at the same time to get meaning. On this account, reading involves discussing texts, and intertextual reading and meaning formation allow the reader to think intertextually and develop alternative perspectives. The study operationalizes this framework through four connection categories applied during language instruction.
Design Implications¶
Context¶
Requirements¶
- Readers make connections across multiple texts rather than reading a single text in isolation
Constraints¶
- The article notes there is not a route directing the intertextual reader, who gets rid of limited meaning restrictions of texts (Irwin, 2004, as cited)
Target Learners¶
- primary school fifth-grade students
Learning Goals¶
- meaning formation across texts
- creative thinking
- alternative perspectives
