Sažetak
Media literacy is the ability to access, analyse, evaluate and create media messages of all kinds (television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, billboards, signs, packaging, marketing materials, video games, recorded music, the Internet etc). Media literate individuals can understand how these messages are constructed, and recognize how they create meaning. Education for media literacy means encouraging students to question what they watch, hear and read. In other words, it develops critical thinking. An ELT classroom is a good place to include elements of media literacy education, because media messages represent authentic material for learning a foreign language. Students can be taught to "read between the lines", recognize the language of persuasion and learn the difference between the text and the subtext. This paper will provide an analysis of media literacy elements and give some suggestions for including them in ELT. The workshop will provide some useful practical examples of classroom-ready exercises.
