Original language description
The paper discusses the merits of employing media literacy strategies (via analyzing e.g. manifest, latent, and cumulative messages contained in the media) in the context of teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). These strategies help students acquire the ability to distinguish mediated from real images of people, places, and cultures. Specifically, it reports on an interdisciplinary collaboration between a language instructor and media specialist in organizing a content- and language-integratedcourse for MA students called Theory and Methods of Genre Analysis, held at Masaryk University, Faculty of Social Studies. The theoretical part of the paper deals with the definition of the concepts of media literacy and Web 2.0 in relation to TEFL. Thepractical part illustrates the ways media literacy can be used for the development of students? critical thinking skills in the Web 2.0 age as an important part of language education.
