READING 3.3 (CRITICAL LITERACY: A LINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVE)

From the presentation reading 3.3, the presenter include 5 elements to develop the linguistic tools readers for enable them to identify certain global. For example, 5 elements are names such as ‘gave’ (overall shape), ‘field’ (texts about something), ‘tenor’ (position readers interpersonally, ‘mode’ (vary in degree of abstraction) and ‘ideology’ (covert ideological position). The aim of this reading 3.3 based on my opinion is to dig up what the writer is see as ideological positioning and open up a number of critical readings, which they can provides the basis of informed debate, analysis and critique. For example, the passages from school textbooks used by students doing juniors secondary commerce course.
