“…Encouragement of their use and uptake does feature in media literacy education resources designed for both teachers and students (e.g. (MediaSmarts, 2019 [54])). A key challenge therefore is the dissemination of the vast array of tools that are on offer to tackle false or misleading content in the digital environment (Hanot et al, 2019[55]).…”

“…Despite teacher educators' efforts to push for MLE in teacher-training programs, the media literacy content is often excluded from undergraduate teacher education curricula, especially in elementary education courses (Meehan et al, 2015). This absence of media literacy education in teacher preparation programs stems from a myriad of reasons, including national and state standards that primarily focus on core subjects such as English language arts, mathematics, sciences, social studies, and history.…”

“…Therefore, media literacy skills should be taught as part of formal education, especially in K-12 and teacher preparation programs (Hobbs, 2010). Incorporating media literacy into formal education has the potential to narrow the gap between digital divides, to bridge diverse cultural groups, to motivate learners to make connections across various disciplines, and to offer more equitable opportunities in multimedia environments (Hobbs, 2010;Meehan, Ray, Walker, Wells, & Schwarz, 2015).Since participatory culture shifts the emphasis of media literacy from individual activities to global community engagement, MLE must include social skills and intercultural competencies that need to be developed in addition to traditional literacy (Hobbs, 2010). Therefore, to improve…”

During the past decade, media literacy education (MLE) in teacher education has changed dramatically. The focus has expanded from exploring ways to use media and technology as tools in teaching to integrating meaningful MLE into curricula (Hobbs & Jensen, 2009;Jolls, 2015). The main focus of MLE in 2007 was on pedagogy and practice in K-12 (i.e., US primary and secondary education) settings and on the relationship between MLE and content matter in cross-disciplinary subjects (Hobbs & Jensen, 2009). In 2010 the US Department of Education proposed a national education technology plan (see Hobbs, 2010), stating that, in order to adapt to the rapidly changing world, students must obtain twenty-first-century skills that comprise media literacy and knowledge across various content areas and disciplines, as well as the connections among them.Given the importance and value of MLE, teacher preparation programs should include systematic, consistent, measurable, and scalable professional development opportunities for teachers to provide MLE at a global level. The United Nation Education, Science, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has developed and promoted MLE locally and globally. Education systems in other countries are fully aware of the importance of MLE (Jolls, 2012). For instance, the Office of Communications, the government agency responsible for broadcasting and telecommunications in the UK, provides resources and research for MLE to educators across the country. Finland also adopted a national strategy and advocated for MLE (Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture, 2013).This study, recognizing the challenges that educators encounter, connects theories and practices of media literacy, integrates approaches that promote media literacy in standards-based instruction, incorporates critical media literacy and culturally relevant teaching into curricula, and critically reviews ethical use of information online. This study further defines media literacy and its role in the twenty-first century; reflects on the needs and challenges in fostering media literacy education in teacher preparation programs; and demonstrates teacher education training models for MLE. Perspectives: Defining Media Literacy and Its Role in the Twenty-First CenturyBecoming a twenty-first-century citizen requires not only consuming and accessing information offline and online but also full participation in contemporary media culture. Therefore, media literacy skills should be taught as part of formal education, especially in K-12 and teacher preparation programs (Hobbs, 2010). Incorporating media literacy into formal education has the potential to narrow the gap between digital divides, to bridge diverse cultural groups, to motivate learners to make connections across various disciplines, and to offer more equitable opportunities in multimedia environments (Hobbs, 2010;Meehan, Ray, Walker, Wells, & Schwarz, 2015).Since participatory culture shifts the emphasis of media literacy from individual activities to global community engagement, MLE must in...

“…Following that, teachers can get numerous advantages from the use of technology, such as providing safe, inspiring, and engaging settings (Idayani & Sailun, 2017). One strategy that allows teachers to connect their curricula with their students and standards in innovative and exciting ways is media literacy (Meehan, Ray, Walker, Wells, & Schwarz, 2015). Positively, if educators and learners have satisfactory access to the web, there are countless broad online media sources that can be applied in the learning process.…”

Speaking is a significant and fundamental skill that may help students enhance their ability to communicate with their classmates verbally. Henceforth, instructors or teachers need to incorporate some educating media which can develop the students’ English speaking competence. Therefore, this study aims to discover the viability of news and media literacy for speaking practice at an advanced education level. The researchers used experimental research and took two groups as the sample of this study. There were experimental groups in class 4b and a control group in 4a class that comprised 35 students for each class. Moreover, the speaking test, mainly pre-test and post-test in both experimental class and control class, was also used as gathering information of the research. This research found that the difference between pre-test and post-test average speaking practice results was -24.540 to -17,689, with a 95 percent confidence range of -24.540 to -17,689 for this finding. Finally, this study discovered an average difference in students' speaking practice between the pre-test and post-test. Therefore, enhancing students use of news and media literacy is necessary for speaking practice and teachers need to encourage students’ use of technology to find out online sources as media literacy in learning the second language. They have various kinds of information from media sources and improve the advanced vocabulary that they used while practising speaking with their classmates. To summarize, integrating news and media literacy has a substantial impact on enhancing students' speaking skills among four-semester students of English Language Education in Pekanbaru.
