READING 3.3.

The next background reading in our study is Reading 3.3. this reading entitled, “Critical Literacy: a linguistic perspectives.” This reading was written by Wignell, P (1995). For this reading, Aina and Ain were presenting their slides. They present according to the ten elements in Critical Literacy. They not present the summary of the chapter. So, I could not manage to understand what they want to present. After take a quick reading in this chapter, what I understand the chapter is about a possible linguistic approach to critical literacy. The writer use two text that taken from a junior secondary commerce textbook entitled ‘Commerce Two’. The authors of the textbook are Parker, B., Clarke, T. and Carter, P. (1988). In the text also explain about Wignell’s aim to discover elements of the language and also find the ideology that exists in the writing.
