Description

This paper investigates one way of critically evaluating media access in a political news story with students studying English as a foreign language. The paper begins by examining how quotations act as the locus of media values and media access in the story. This is followed by a discussion of activities designed to help students engage with the authentic news story. The process in class involved students planning their own news stories then using these as a basis from which to critique the authentic news story of the same subject. Results drawn from the writing samples of a high-beginner Japanese university class indicate that students were able to evaluate media access from the authentic news source. Furthermore, implications for the use of political news stories in the foreign language classroom will be discussed.
