英语报刊阅读教学与媒介素养培养

Teaching of English Newspaper Readings and the Cultivation of Media Literacy

当今世界,高速发展的大众传媒正在潜移默化地影响着人们的生活和价值体系,如何分析和运用各种扑面而来的信息能力称之为媒介素养。我国媒介素养研究起步较晚,教育实践相对滞后。针对这种情况,可在英语报刊阅读教学中试行媒介素养教育,即通过解构教材中所学语篇结构、解读其中的隐喻认知过程、解析其中的评价意义等策略,解决大学生媒介素养薄弱问题。

At present, fast developing mass media is exerting a subtle influence on people＇s life and values. The ability to analyze and use the overwhelming information is known as media literacy. The study on media literacy started a bit late in China, so the practice of education lagged behind accordingly. In vies of the existing problems, this paper holds that it is necessary to cultivate learners＇ media literacy in the process of teaching. Some strategies like deconstructing the structure, decoding the metaphorical and cognitive process, and analyzing the appraisal meaning of the text may be feasible in eliminating learners＇ weakness of media literacy.
