The purpose of the E-module for critical reading is to offer undergraduate students a platform for learning critical reading courses within the context of English Language Teaching (ELT) in higher education. This platform includes various features such as a teacher's guide, student's guide, tasks, materials, assessments, a vocabulary log, and notes. It combines task-based language teaching with technology to design the platform. Key terms are defined to help readers understand the concept of technology-mediated task-based language teaching (TMTBLT).

The core concepts behind the e-module. Tap a term to read its definition.
A task is an activity centered on meaning that requires learners to prioritize understanding over linguistic form (Nunan, 1989). In this activity, task refers to completing the critical reading activities with the task jigsaw, information gap, problem-solving, decision making, and opinion exchanges.
A task has a goal that requires processing input, creating output, and interacting with others to meet it (Van den Branden, 2006). In this study, I adopt the tasks to teach critical reading course including jigsaw, information gap, problem-solving, decision making and opinion exchange (Pica, Kanagy, & Falodun, 1993)
This is a new way of conceptualizing and operationalizing the merger between technology and TBLT (González-Lloret and Ortega, 2014). Drawing on the TMTBLT principles, I created the online platform https://e-modulecr.com/ which integrate tasks and technological tools.
An online learning platform. An e-module is a digital educational resource designed to deliver instructional content through electronic means, such as online courses, interactive presentations, or multimedia materials. This e-module feature consists of the main homepage and content, including teachers and students guides, tasks, materials, assessments, and notes. To access the e-module, users must create an account to explore the contents.
This serves as a technique for evaluating information and ideas, aiding in decision-making regarding what to accept and believe (Taglieber, 2003). I adopt critical thinking to encourage students to process information.
This course is offered in one of the private universities. To take this course, students should pass the previous reading courses, namely, intensive reading and extensive reading. The purpose of this course is to enhance critical reading skills including clarification, assumptions, reasons and evidence, viewpoints or perspective and etc. as proposed by Moseley et al., (2005)
