Pop culture in critical language awareness
Philip Chan
Abstract
The move towards a knowledge-based economy propelled by the advances in information technology and the mass media is impacting on the curriculum, particularly EFL. To compete in the global community, students need to learn beyond the confines of the textbooks and classroom -- with an ability to read not only the word but also the world, in the context where English has become a vehicle of pop culture, the branding of consumer products, and the password of a cosmopolitan identity. This paper analyses the use of English in pop culture: to mediate values, shape lifestyles, represent ‘reality’, and construct identities. It explores ways of developing critical thinking and language awareness through a set of written and visual texts with learning tasks that have been tried out. The seminar seeks to make learning English creative and pleasurable.
