Tracking academic digital literacy trajectories of online ELT undergraduate students, A virtual literacy ethnography
Online learning environments have proved to be a promising option in higher education (SIMPSON, 2018), and an increased student population with a diversity of cultural, educational and social experiences and perspectives comes with the territory (KUMI-YEBAOH et al., 2019). This was confirmed by the way in which all the Universities around the world had to go online during the pandemic, finding in this form of education a way to respond to that sudden challenge. On the grounds on internationalisation, the online nature of this type of programmes makes it common for English to be the main means of communication, very likely a second or foreign language to those who want to undertake these studies. This adds another trace of multiculturalism to the equation, where multimodal resources, including translingualism, play a central role in knowledge construction, meaning making and language use, and thus in the way in which academic writing is performed (LEE; CANAGARAJAH, 2019).

Abstract
Online learning environments have proved to be a promising option in higher education (SIMPSON, 2018), and an increased student population with a diversity of cultural, educational and social experiences and perspectives comes with the territory (KUMI-YEBAOH et al., 2019). This was confirmed by the way in which all the Universities around the world had to go online during the pandemic, finding in this form of education a way to respond to that sudden challenge. On the grounds on internationalisation, the online nature of this type of programmes makes it common for English to be the main means of communication, very likely a second or foreign language to those who want to undertake these studies. This adds another trace of multiculturalism to the equation, where multimodal resources, including translingualism, play a central role in knowledge construction, meaning making and language use, and thus in the way in which academic writing is performed (LEE; CANAGARAJAH, 2019).
