Goals
The study outlines how teachers in five primary classrooms used tablets for teaching bilingual literacy to students. It aimed to answer the research question: "How are the domains of professional practice [planning and preparation, classroom environment, instruction and professional responsibilities] influenced by the introduction of tablets in Maltese classrooms for the teaching of literacy?" (Mifsud & Grech, 2017; p. 165).
