This edited book presents the integration of Critical Media Literacy (CML) principles into teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL). This approach has its roots in content-based language learning, which aims to promote effective communication as the ultimate goal of language acquisition. This book highlights the profound influence of CML on educational methods, exploring the evolving concepts that support its integration and providing both theoretical perspectives and practical examples to illustrate its implementation. The book delineates methodologies for constructing and executing a CML integration framework in EFL lessons, offering various instructional strategies and reflective analyses and integrating the viewpoints of professionals, educators, and researchers. The book explores the complexities of CML, discussing the changing nature of language instruction in a world heavily influenced by media, and explores issues such as professional growth during educational restructuring, highlighting the significance of personal metamorphosis in attaining social equity. This book offers a concise yet thorough examination of CML integration in EFL settings, and it will be of interest to scholars specializing in education, media studies, and language instruction, as well as educators actively engaged in teaching, such as EFL teachers, curriculum developers, and educational policymakers.
