WHY MEDIA LITERACY (in english)?
Media literacy is the ability to analyse, understand and create media messages. Media messages are communicated via traditional media like print newspapers and television shows, and digital (or new media) like podcasts, video platforms and video games. Our students engage with different media messages on a daily basis and they need to have the media literacy skills to understand and critique them. As they become adults and enter into the workforce, they will likely need to go online to use technology tools for gathering information, content creation, and collaboration with peers. Many helpful and innovative tools, resources, apps and media are in English. People who have a combination of English language and media literacy skills will be better prepared to use 21st century technology for the benefit of themselves and others.
