Abstract
This paper presents a critical analysis of the four dimensions of critical literacy (FDCL), a framework widely known among the scholars and practitioners in the field of critical literacy. It begins with a literature review of critical literacy. Then each dimension of FDCL is described in detail through the use of a children’s book. In addition, the limitations of FDCL are discussed. Finally, this paper proposes that certain features of Jurgen Habermas’s theory of communicative action be appropriated to complement what is lacking in FDCL.
