The pedagogical approach described here, critical media work (CMW), integrates language teaching and social issues by using media literacy as a bridge. CMW explores antiracist discourse in popular media (digital and analog) to dismantle simplified, binary thinking about race. CMW encourages semiotic analyses of antiracist discourse and examines messages along continuums that emphasize complexities and intersections of race, language, and culture. We share how language teachers at two urban colleges that serve immigrant populations integrate CMW into their classes, and we discuss the effectiveness of this pedagogy in terms of language learning and antiracist education. We maintain that language teaching and social justice education can support each other and that media literacy provides a meaningful and effective foundation for engaged antiracist pedagogy.  \nKeywords: critical media literacy, antiracist discourse, migrant education, antiracist pedagogy  \nCritical Media Work  \nCritical media work (CMW) is a pedagogical approach that merges ideas from media literacy education,  \nlanguage learning, and critical discourse analysis. For language learners unfamiliar with certain idioms, metaphors, and cultural references woven into popular media, CMW opens up discussions of how meaning is constructed through the intersection of symbols, contexts, and identities. In the following pages, we situate this approach within TESOL, introduce the general framework, and share how we adapted and implemented CMWto address racial justice and language awareness with our undergraduate college students. Muhammad Khan (Mak) describes how he uses CMW in ESL classes at a community college, and Carla applies CMW to TESOL classes for preservice teachers. The focus on racial justice emerged from our conversations about teaching against the backdrop of COVID-19 pandemic, racially motivated murders, and contentious elections in the United States, all which heightened the imperative to address social justice in our communities and classrooms. As language educators, we wanted to help our students decipher messages about race that they encounter in their daily lives and widen their communicative repertoires to respond to these messages. We focus on local media to encourage students to engage in conversations about how racial justice, in particular antiracist discourse, plays out where they live, work, and attend school.  \nLanguage Learning, Media, and Race  \nLanguage learning should be relevant and meaningful. It should engage with the discourse of local communities and encompass face-to-face interactions, analog media (e.g., printed signs, flyers, posters, newspapers), and digital platforms. Whether learners are in front of screens or walking through their neighborhoods, the texts and images of their local mediascapes comprise a rich source for learning. Using popular local media as an effective resource, however, requires adopting a critical lens that recognizes media as powerful cultural storytellers (Chamberlin, 2018; Lippi-Green, 2012) . In TESOL, we have already begun to integrate critical media literacy into language learning and teaching, focusing on the language of advertisements, film, news, and websites (Chamberlin-Quinlisk, 2003, 2012a, 2012b; Egbert & Neville, 2015; Hobbs, He, & Robbgrieco, 2015; Park, 2011) . By focusing more specifically on local media about race, we aim for students to gain a deeper understanding of the relationships among language, race, and media in their communities. Although all students need to become critical viewers of media, it is vitally important for language learners, whose status and agency have historically been marginalized. Likewise, language teachers are sometimes pushed to the peripheries, their work represented as remedia","cbCaitduK7XuinSm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitduK7XuinSm","pdf",490525,12,"English","# Critical Media Work as Antiracist Pedagogy in Language Learning Classrooms\n## Critical Media Work\n## Language Learning, Media, and Race\n## Critical Media Work as Pedagogy","[{\"question\":\"What is Critical Media Work (CMW) in language learning classrooms?\",\"answer\":\"CMW is a pedagogical approach that merges media literacy education, language learning, and critical discourse analysis to address social issues through language teaching.\"},{\"question\":\"How does CMW support antiracist pedagogy?\",\"answer\":\"CMW explores antiracist discourse in popular media and encourages semiotic analysis of how messages about race are constructed, simplified, or manipulated.\"},{\"question\":\"How do teachers implement CMW, and what outcomes are emphasized?\",\"answer\":\"Language teachers at two urban colleges serving immigrant populations integrate CMW to help students interpret everyday messages about race, build communicative repertoires, and strengthen both language learning and antiracist education.\"}]","Critical Media Work as Antiracist Pedagogy in Language Learning Classrooms | PDF",1792086722]
