Critical
literacy is indeed a hard subject. That is a statement that one
cannot deny. This subject challenged the mind to a whole another
level. This is perhaps a downhill, catastrophe, disastrous semester
for semester 4 student. Or any other synonym for apocalypse. This
subject involve in-depth analysis on an article. This is a very
difficult and exhausting process as you have to push the brain to
think critically.
Most
student might thought that this subject is unnecessary. But as a
linguistic student, I think it is a wise decision to include this
subject in the syllabus. This is a good practice for a person who is
studying the language and would enhance the person writing and
thinking skill. For language student, writing is one of the most
important components to be a successful language student.
This
subject does took a lot of time especially in completing the
assignment. I can say almost all of the student has difficulty doing
the assignment, especially identifying the writer's believe. This is
because it is not our country education policy to enhance student
critical thinking. Since kindergarten up till high school, kids have
been thought to only memorize the textbook and what was told by the
teacher, which does not involve critical thinking. Unlike in many
other country, they have urge the young ones to think critically and
voice out their inner thoughts. This is why many of us have
difficulty to think critically.
I hope
in future the lecturer have more understanding on the student's
position. We are not familiar with this thinking method and we are
still trying to improve our critical thinking.
I do
like this subject as it open up my eyes to a whole new way of
thinking. We should considered every option or situation available
before we came up with a statement. Aside that, I also now know how
to write a very strong and good argument essay.
