High School Chinese Reading Teaching In The View Of Media Literacy Education

In 1982, UNESCO put forward a few suggestions that "We must allow young people to learn to survive in the world filled with kinds of images, words and voices". Nowadays, mass media has become an important component of the minors’ lives. More and more social concern is given to the impact of mass media. People have come to realize that the media literacy education not only help the minors to promote their physical and mental growth, but also help them to become modern citizens as the future nation-building and community needs. Thus, mass media literacy (media literacy) will increasingly become one of the core qualities of the modern citizens living in the era of information explosion.Media literacy is an extension of traditional literacy (listening, speaking, reading and writing), meaning a variety of ability to choose, to understand, to question, to evaluate and to response and thoughtfully, even including the creation and production capacity and the ability to use of media information for people personal lives and social development services, when people face with complex information that media provides. Therefore, the purpose of media literacy education is to enhance people’s media literacy, to teach people understand and interpret media messages correctly, help people more favorable access and rational use to media resources, and then gradually make people being equipped with the independent and self-critical ability. The ultimate aim of media literacy is to help people to promote their social and self-improvement, to take the initiative to use the media rather than by the media with the complex and diverse media environment.So far, the history of media literacy education research in China is no more than 10 years, on the contrary, the western countries have a history of more than 80 years.

Some primary and middle schools are also actively exploring in Beijing, Shenzhen and other economy developed areas. However, our attention is not high overall.This thesis is main concerned with what inspirations China reading literacy and high school Chinese reading teaching can absorb from media literacy education.
