This paper provides the rationale and purpose for a critical literacy awareness strategy, implemented to 20 English second language students at a township secondary school in South Africa. This empirical study provides insight into using newspapers as a pedagogical tool to develop students’ language and critical literacy skills. Using different classroom activities and class discussions, the teacher helped the students to read beyond different texts and raised their awareness of different ideologies that inform texts. Working in pairs and groups, the learners engaged with different genres of texts. In this study, special emphasis is promoting critical thinking for social justice where critical literacy is used as a tool to better understand and improve the world. Findings of the study show students engaging in critical conversations without being directed into one way of thinking, which leads to significant improvement in their critical thinking. This further shows that texts that raise questions about different discourses can create an inclusive critical curriculum. It can be concluded that students can learn best when presented with a context they can identify with and are able to tap to their everyday experiences.

“…However, research on PCs from linguistics is quite few. The existing research mainly focus on three aspects: (1) the functions, features, humors of PCs (Al-Masri, 2010;Issa, 2016;Katz, 2022;Mateus, 2010;Mowafy, 2022;Oluremi & Ajepe, 2010;Palmeri, 2009;Sani et al, 2012;Saygin, 2017;Schilperoord & Maes, 2009;Soare, 2019;Swanick, 2018;Tsakona, 2009); (2) the semiotic aspect of PCs (Abdul, 2009;Almomani et al, 2010;Ghilzai, 2020;Mazid, 2008;Rehman, 2018;Stewart, 2010;Swain, 2012;Wu, 2018); (3) the cognitive aspect of PCs in metaphor, conceptual blending (Abdel-Raheem, 2020;Alousque, 2013;Baek, 2016;El Refaie, 2003;Forceville, 1996;Krstić et al, 2019;Marín-Arrese, 2019;García, 2019;Saito & Chiang, 2020).…”

This study was an attempt to conduct a multimodal discourse analysis of a corpus of 10 political cartoons with animals about China published in foreign media. It was guided by the qualitative research design employing discourse analysis as an approach, specifically employing descriptive and analytical techniques to explore how foreign media conveyed the hidden cultural connotations and communicative intentions to the world in political cartoons through multimodal discourse analysis from the perspective of function and cognition and finally revealed the images of China in political cartoons of foreign media. This study grounded its analysis and discussion on generic features, semiotic resources utilized, relationship among semiotic modes, three meta-functions construed, metaphors, images of China construed, and finally proposed a functional-cognitive analytical framework for political cartoons. The findings revealed the cultural connotations in political cartoons were meant to create a specific negative impression of China, and to convey a particular political message to the viewers. The communicative intentions were to shape and promote China's political, economic, military threats, hegemony in all aspects, and construed the images of China as economically, politically, and militarily threatening, domineering, hypocritical, bullying, cunning and greedy, which was catered to the foreign ideological purpose of "China Threat Theory".

Nowadays, information can be conveyed not only through words, but also through images. An image is also a form of one-way communication because, through an image, people can convey the meaning. This study aimed to describe Anies Baswedan�s political cartoons on his first 100 days as a governor. This study employed a qualitative research approach, and the content or document analysis as the research design. The researchers collected and analyzed the data dealing with the relationship between the utterances and Anies� cartoons on his first 100 days as Jakarta�s governor. In analyzing the data, some steps were taken: first, categorizing the sign into icon, symbol, index using a typology of signs; second, interpreting the meaning of the political cartoons; last, drawing conclusions based on the result of the analysis. The study found that the signs in those political cartoons had powerful meanings to convey the aspiration of Indonesian people freely towards Anies� government. Also, the fact that the cartoons were in the forms of images eased the readers in understanding the meanings behind them, and the political cartoons deal with the relationship between visual and verbal signs of cartoons because it will be helpful for the researchers to know about events depicted in those cartoons.The study also offers some potential use of cartoons for language teaching, even though the challenges of employing them are evident.
