Room: (1F) Barceloneta

In an increasingly interconnected and media-saturated world, developing both media literacy and language competence is crucial for preparing young people to participate actively in global dialogue. This interactive workshop explores a practical pedagogical model for integrating media literacy into English language instruction to develop intercultural awareness, critical thinking, and youth leadership among high school students. Drawing on recent classroom experiences and research from Kazakhstan, the session introduces a range of adaptive teaching strategies that combine English language learning with analysis of authentic media texts, including news reports, social media posts, and video content. Participants will engage in practical activities that demonstrate how critical media literacy can be used to develop students’ language competence while enhancing their ability to recognize bias, navigate misinformation, and communicate across cultural boundaries. The workshop is designed for educators, curriculum developers, and educational leaders interested in advancing transformative learning that connects local classrooms to global issues. By the end of the session, participants will have access to a set of ready-to-use learning activities, as well as practical tips for developing students’ skills as ethical communicators and leaders in the digital age.
