A sketch of a possible linguistic approach to critical literacy(Reading 3.3)

New week with new presentation and with new mood to judge the presentation. The same feeling goes to Madam Ros in order to her to judge the presentation. This time, she is very strict rather than before and it makes me afraid to her although knowing her since semester 1. The first victim who gets the comment from “American Idol” judges is Ain’s group. She never ends her presentation yet but already goes the comment and it a little bit makes their presentation disturbed.
Their topic is a sketch of a possible linguistic approach to critical literacy. In this topic, it will focus more on and the roles of a linguistic approach to literacy as making explicit the technology of written text. Then it will talk about how written language works and how you can use this knowledge to become critically literate. Basically this group already out of topic when they have starts their presentation. They did not use their own language and only depends on the text book but this is not my feelings to condemn their presentation maybe this is their misunderstood due to the issues.
Based on my understanding, this reading is all about the business world and includes the entire variety business article. It also indicates to the economy itself when we talked about business. From my opinion, this is the interesting topic and I think if they come out with current issues and attach with critical literacy elements, it will contribute a interesting debate, unfortunately they could not make it. They are lot of article about business nowadays and many of them seem like a bias. They will be at the strongest side because want to get a better and secure bail for their side and they will condemn the article seriously and can contribute quarrel in the market.
I hope with my comments did not make anybody feel uncomfortable with me but take it as the constructive criticism which is can help you to develop your self confidence and can take any comments although it really bitter to take it. Life is just a drama.
