REFLECTION ON CRITICAL LITERACY

This subject is extremely fantastic as it suit my wishes in a path to be a critical thinker. The basic aspect which included in the content of this subject likely to be pulse of Critical Literacy such as rhetorical function, perspective, positioning, impact and the essential one is the audience as the exact target for each writer of every article that published in any kind of media. From this subject, I just got something valuable to be applying not in every assignment for this subject only but able to use some sort of skills during everyday reading session. As stated in the preface in Critical Literacy: Study Guide, the skill could be on how texts or articles are constructed and how readers are positioned to understand the text. Then, it may become useful in writing critical reviews of academic writing. Before this, I never know the purpose of the writer in writing various articles in publishing field. Then, I have to bare in my mind that writing or reading an article is not as easy as ABC. Probably, there is something hidden in it. I certainly enjoy in learning this subject. Further, the course aims that is to enable students to manage the demands of literacy in a critical manner in a university environment is confirmed to be successful by the way I feel while learning this course.
