—It can be argued that multimodal digital literacy practices promote the development of literacy skills needed for today’s world without being constrained to one mode of learning. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the employment of multimodal practices during instruction within EFL classrooms in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is minimal and fraught with obstacles to its effective utilization. It is, therefore, important to determine whether this is the case and, if so, to develop strategies that would ameliorate this situation. This study, therefore, sought to identify KSA postsecondary EFL instructors’ self-reporting of their use of various types of technology, computer software, and online software; the different teaching/learning and assessment strategies that they employ; the obstacles they face with the use of technology in their classrooms; and their beliefs about the use of multimodal digital literacy practices for teaching and learning. The study, which was based on the premises of social semiotic theory, utilized a mixed-methods design from which survey and focus group interview data were triangulated. The findings demonstrated that while most postsecondary EFL instructors have a strong positive attitude towards multimodal digital literacy practices and make robust use of specific types of technology and software programs, obstacles prevent these practices from being more widely and frequently deployed in the KSA. Suggestions for how to make a transformation to a more pronounced use of multimodal practices happen and the limitations to the study are also presented.

: [100 words ] The essay approaches the book in Arabic script as the indispensable means for the transmission of knowledge across Eurasia and Africa, within cultures and across cultural boundaries, since the seventh century AD . The state of research can be divided into manuscript and print studies, but there is not yet a history of the book in Arabic script which captures its plurilinear development for over fourteen hundred years. The essay explores the conceptual and practical challenges that impede the integration of the book in Arabic script into book history at large, and includes an extensive reference list which reflects its diversity.

After a brief survey of the mechanics, media, and cultural context of cuneiform writing, I take three case studies to try to determine whether – and, if so, when, where, and how – we can talk of books in the first three millennia of recorded human history in the Middle East. Writings from a school house from the 18 th century BC city of Nippur show that Sumerian literary culture was primarily oral, with surviving tablets the ephemeral byproducts of the memorization process. In 7 th -century Nineveh, Assyrian king Ashurbanipal acquired his famous library through copying, inheritance and wartime plunder as an assertion of imperial control. Five centuries later in Hellenistic Babylonia, chief-priest-to-be Shamash- ê tir belonged to a tiny community of cuneiform-literate men who made celestial observations, calculations and rituals in a last-ditch attempt to preserve traditional temple culture.
在对楔形文字的机制、媒介和文化背景进行了简短的调查之后，我将进行三个案例研究，试图确定我们是否可以——如果可以的话，何时、何地以及如何——谈论中东有记载的人类历史的前三千年中的书籍。公元前18世纪尼普尔市一所学校的文字表明，苏美尔人的文学文化主要是口头的，幸存下来的石板是记忆过程中短暂的副产品。在7世纪的尼尼微，亚述国王亚述巴尼拔通过复制、继承和战时掠夺获得了他著名的图书馆，作为对帝国控制的一种主张。五个世纪后，在希腊化的巴比伦，未来的首席祭司shaash - ê tir属于一个很小的社区，这个社区的人会使用楔形文字，他们进行天体观测、计算和仪式，为保存传统的寺庙文化做最后的努力。
