Here are further information about "Critical Literacy" I want to share with you in hope of helping ourselves.

(After reading a lot I could produce the following)

Putting the critical Literacy in practicing is not easy. Everybody knows the enormous challenges faced by the teachers in regular schools with large classes, excessive work ours, lack of administrative support, lack of discipline and many times violence. Despite of all these, tolerance and humbleness to learn how to deal with some of these challenges and extract from them the best opportunities for learning, both students and teachers. Critical Literacy will not be put into practicing from day to night, but through every single action in classroom. The meaning attributed to the actions of all involved in the educational system can emphasize the force of students and the meanings they give to the task of learning English in a given context and in a critical way.

In hope of conducting the students to be engaged in Critical Literacy it is important to have a dynamic nature of interaction and communication where personal purposes and meanings contrast to let the students do their own readings. It is also important to include multiple subjective views and difference of interpretations that may bring potential conflicts and dilemmas for participants because it helps learners to fell more reflective about their own learning in finding out things as they write and talk in a given context. It also allows them to invest in their learning by building their identity as English language users helping them to transform themselves as important part of the society.

Lots of love!
