Parole chiave:
Critical literacy, principles, activities based on critical literacy, English language teaching (ELT), regular schools.Abstract
This article aims to present a set of principles for the elaboration of activities critically grounded for English classes regular school settings. Such principles are based on the pillars of critical literacy according to renowned linguists and scholars of the area, as well as pre-established criteria proposed by Richards (2001) and adapted by Rashidi (2011) for critical-pedagogical practice. A brief contextualization will be presented, as well as theoretical foundations for the organization of such criteria. Following this moment, two practical examples of the elaboration of activities based on this perspective will be presented in order to demonstrate the applicability of these theories in language classes at regular schools. The directions hereby proposed are aimed at guiding the reflections of ELT teachers in the elaboration of critically based activities in their classroom.
