Date Posted: 14:14:18 09/12/10 Sun Hey everybody, here is what I thought what can be the paragraph where we show the opponent's point of view and we go against that. See if it is okay. There are some risks when teachers are in charge of applying Critical Literacy in the classroom. That is pointed by Morgan (1997) as a dangerous situation, where CL discourse can become authoritative and arrogant, because with this theory teachers are seen as agents of empowerment and emancipation. Another problem pointed by her is that students’ ideology might differ from teacher’s dogma, and since teachers are the authority in the classroom, therefore students can feel intimidate by that. The author point of view, contrasts what was proposed by Freire (1970), who supports that the learning process has the power to free any individual from an oppressive situation, and through that he or she is able to take action to change his or her belief. When teachers propose to use CL in their English class, they won’t intimidate students with an oppressive discourse, different from that, they will help students to build their own discourse through English language and they will be more qualified to see things by their own perspectives.
