Abstract

The article centers around the idea of developing students’ media literacy through integrating English and American mass media resources (multimedia form) into the English classroom. It is based on teaching experience at Dostoyevsky Omsk State University where the module ‘Mass Media Analysis and Interpretation’ has been incorporated into the practical course of English language teaching (ELT). According to the suggested approach, multimedia texts analysis and interpretation allow students to access, analyze, and evaluate various kinds of British and American mass media – TV news programs, talk shows, movies, etc. The article is illustrated with recent examples of the mass media incorporated in the media-oriented classroom. The writer shares her own experience of designing methods for media analysis in terms of cultural, political, ideological, and socioeconomic implication.
