Abstract
To explore the role of digital tools in adult migrants’ literacy practices and the strategies they develop in real-life situations, we conducted filmed observations of three migrants who were engaged in digital literacy events outside the language classroom. Digital literacy events are defined as empirical and observable configurations of action, technology, text and discourse that offer insights into individuals’ digital literacy. To capture the data comprehensively, we employed a multifocal approach using a 360° camera and screen captures. This method documented three distinct events: managing routine interactions, navigating geographic and administrative tasks, and job hunting. The inductive analysis revealed key elements, including interface navigation, transmediation, the extensive use of the Google suite in digital practices, and the crucial role of machine translation in migrants’ literacy development. In conclusion, the findings highlight the importance of acknowledging and fostering migrants’ existing digital practice repertoires while establishing links between these practices and structured learning opportunities.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
