The challenges for education and reading during the pandemic: An analysis the international Spanish-speaking press
Abstract
This paper presents an exploratory analysis of a of 117 news stories on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on education and reading habits and skills. The news stories were published in the Spanish-speaking press between March 2020 and May 2021 and compiled through the Factiva database. The analysis combined critical discourse with corpus linguistics methods. The results show that compulsory digitalization, which has affected the development of reading skills, has led to new problems relating to uneven access to connectivity and technology, as well as problems relating to endemic inequalities that have affected teachers, students and families alike.
