Read the following text to answer the
question bellow:
Literacy involves having the wherewithal
to base one’s interpretive and creative decisions
on one’s personal purposes, one’s understanding
of the medium one is working with, and the
conditions of possibility of reception, acceptance,
or rejection by others.
The importance of the medium translates
into a number of pedagogical goals for language
and literacy education:
• To develop learners’ ability to reflect on
relationships between language forms and
their material contexts.
• To make learners aware of how those
relationships change over time and through
different mediums and different cultures ofreading (i.e., to make learners aware of the
historical precedents that have helped shape
the communication technologies they use).
• To develop learners’ ability to analyze mediums
to identify their ideological (or commercial)
underpinnings, and to be aware of how
mediums can be used to manipulate consumers
and citizens, and to resist such manipulation.
To accomplish these goals, teachers should engage
learners with questions about how the new media
born of the digital age relate to ‘old’ media, and
perhaps even ancient media, to allow them to
discover what aspects of literacy have remained
relatively constant, which have changed, and what
the significance of those changes might be.
