“…However, the issue of students' and educators' attitudes toward the application of mass media in the academic process is still controversial. Either it is highly praised for students' engagement in multimodal practice with feedback, the opportunity to express themselves and understand the world through media (Afrilyasanti, Basthomi, Zen, & Fauziah, 2023); for its usefulness, interactivity, and cost-effectiveness in the promotion of a positive attitude toward the use of English-content, its relevance and motivational aspects (Rasyid, Hanjariyah & Aini, 2023); for its familiar and enjoyable aspects of mass media materials application in teaching that enabled the creation of a dynamic and engaging academic environment that promoted active student involvement (Ravago, Reyes, Casipit, & Martinez, 2023).…”

“…The abundance of media resources provides teachers with a unique opportunity to teach EFL on authentic materials to their students. However, it should go along with critical literacy practice resources, namely, theoretical basis and critical media literacy principles, material and media selection, student characteristics and language level, students' and educators' skills to analyze credible information sources, their ability to process information, analyze and critique text, produce and distribute information (Afrilyasanti, Basthomi, Zen, & Fauziah, 2023;Lushchyk, Pikulytska, & Tsyhanok, 2021;McDougall, Supa, van Driel, & Sternadel, 2018). After the series of English-language media literacy and critical thinking trainings focusing on Ukrainian and EU media space correlation, substantial feedback was obtained through Google Forms, aimed to assess the attitudes of Ukrainian HEI students towards media literacy and critical thinking development in the context of EFL learning.…”

The study examined Ukrainian HEI students’ opinions and perceptions of media literacy and critical thinking skills in EFL learning before and after participation in the set of trainings. Being created in the framework of the Jean Monnet Module project “EU strategies extrapolation for boosting students’ media literacy in Ukrainian higher education”, it was aimed to empower students with essential skills for navigating the complexities of the modern media landscape, evaluating information sources, forming such students’ competencies as critical thinking, fact-checking, digital security, resistance to media manipulation. A sample of 40 second-year undergraduate students, aged 19 to 23, willing to develop their media literacy and EFL capacities, who demonstrated at least A2 level of English language proficiency, were questioned through Google Forms by means of the specially designed questionnaires. The outcomes of the study revealed that the issues of media literacy and critical thinking were of particular importance among the young people, but they also pointed out their awareness of being insufficiently skilled in working with media products, their concerns about the quality of digital content they had consumed and priorities of being independent in media consumption choices. The activities conducted during the study significantly affected students’ gaining knowledge of media development, their value-meaningful attitude to the media space, the desire to detect false information, and distinguish fakes, manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation.
