Content of review 1, reviewed on December 14, 2020

The aim of the study is clearly stated in the abstract, and although the methodology was clearly explained, the title seems to omit the subject of the study, which are Saudi females in EFL classrooms. The authors have referred to recent and relevant literature and followed the correct format of citing.
The article clearly outlined the question of the study and provided the reader with etiquette background information about the topic. In addition, the gap in the subject is tackled which increases the necessity of the research. However, mentioning technology in the beginning of the introduction is slightly confusing as technology is not the only source of creating infographics.

The study indeed included a large sample of participants, and the process of selecting them is comprehensive. Nevertheless, there is lack of diversity in the subject as it entailed only female students from one Saudi university. The method of the study is valid and reliable. With tables, the presentation of the results is comprehending and easy to navigate through. Each table is preceded with an explanation of the collected data.

In the discussion, the study presented the results from several angles without being overinterpreted. Additionally, the conclusion includes the answers for the aim of the study, and alongside the results, the conclusion is also supported by variable references. Moreover, the study mentioned recommendations for further research.

The study is cohesive and very well-written. It highlighted the students’ opinion on such an important matter in the field of teaching linguistics. Despite the new perspective the study obtained, including the teachers’ point of view and observing classes would have strengthened the outcome. It is definitely important to take the students’ opinion into consideration, but it is important then to include a more diverse subject for the results to be more applicable.
