Inquiry
Would the integration of audio texts help students become better readers or at least improve their attitude toward reading? Would the recording and publishing of students' original audio essays help them become better writers or at least improve their attitude toward writing? Would the reading/writing gains of students who consider themselves frequent audio users (or audiophiles) be more, less, or the same as compared to those students who consider themselves infrequent audio users?
