Abstract
This qualitative and interdisciplinary study experiments with the emerging digital
hypertexts, composed in multimodal/ multi-sequential representational form, in
order to understand the intricacies of cognitive and metacognitive processing of
content language. This research attempts to find out how this phenomenon is
connected to language, and how multimodal text facilitates meaning making and
understanding. Since understanding the digital language of hyper texts is a new
phenomenon in the Pakistani educational context, therefore the present study
attempts to explore the relevant, intricate cognitive and metacognitive patterns as
the non-native readers navigate through the interactive hyperlinked language for
meaning making. Thus, applying qualitative approach, the focus is on understanding
the process rather than the product.
