Media Education in English Language Teaching -Not our job?

Bu çalışma eğitimsel medya politikasını ve Almanya’daki bununla bağlantılı kavramları Almanya’daki okullardaki mevcut durumla karşılaştırarak tartışmaktadır. Çalışmada, medya okuryazarlığı kavramı ve onun toplumsal rolü incelendikten sonra, medya eğitiminin İngiliz dili eğitimi ders programlarındaki yeri ve İngilizce öğretmenlerinin sınıflarında medya eğitimine verdikleri yer tartışılarak ele alınacaktır. Çalışmaya dayanak oluşturan veriler anket çalışmaları yoluyla Almanya’daki İngilizce öğrencileri ve öğretmenlerinden toplanmıştır. En önemli bulguların sunulmasından sonra, İngilizce sınıflarındaki medya eğitimini geliştirmek amacıyla somut öneriler sunulmuştur.

This study discusses educational media policy and related concepts in Germany, contrasting it with what in fact happens at school. After analyzing the concept of media literacy and its role in present society, the questions whether media education should form part of EFL lessons, and up to which extend EFL teachers could be expected to attribute a central role to the integration of media education in their classes will be focused. Data for this research come from questionnaires collected from students and teachers of English in German schools. After the presentation of the major findings, suggestions are made to improve the quality of media education in ELT classrooms.
