Read the following text to answer the question bellow:
Literacy involves having the wherewithal to base one’s interpretive and creative decisions on one’s personal purposes, one’s understanding of the medium one is working with, and the conditions of possibility of reception, acceptance, or rejection by others. The importance of the medium translates into a number of pedagogical goals for language and literacy education:
• To develop learners’ ability to reflect on relationships between language forms and their material contexts.
• To make learners aware of how those relationships change over time and through different mediums and different cultures of reading (i.e., to make learners aware of the historical precedents that have helped shape the communication technologies they use).
• To develop learners’ ability to analyze mediums to identify their ideological (or commercial) underpinnings, and to be aware of how mediums can be used to manipulate consumers and citizens, and to resist such manipulation. To accomplish these goals, teachers should engage learners with questions about how the new media born of the digital age relate to ‘old’ media, and perhaps even ancient media, to allow them to discover what aspects of literacy have remained relatively constant, which have changed, and what the significance of those changes might be.
