Structural and content components of media literacy in foreign language education

Аннотация

The media have become an integral part of our lives, be they children, young people or adults; we all have our share of the media on a daily basis. Being literate in the 21st century requires changing the pedagogy of the existing education system. Thus, teachers are aware of the need to teach media literacy in their classrooms. The inclusion of media literacy education in the school curriculum is imperative in order to challenge students' critical and creative skills in order to internalize the diverse codes used in today's media system. Thus, the purpose of this document is to examine the manifestation of media literacy in the EFL (English as a foreign language) classroom, focusing on the perception of OA by EFL teachers and practice in the classroom.
