Through this research, it is intended to improve the critical media literacy of the Chinese by designing this educational scheme. In recent years, research on improving the media literacy of Chinese people has become increasingly important in response to the low media quality of Chinese people. To this end, firstly in this study the concept and extension of media literacy are examined, and secondly the relationship between media literacy and critical thinking is examined, based on that the concept of critical media literacy is redefined. At the same time, the new forms of literary works in the media age are identified. Using this as a contact, the two concepts of media literature and critical thinking have been re-linked. Through the discussion of the above concepts and relationships, the educational principles of critical media literacy are reorganized.
To be more specifically, in this study, it is focused on the various media forms of Yoon Dong-Ju’s poetry and a educational scheme is designed aiming at improving Chinese media literacy. In this scheme the understanding process and appearance of Chinese learners are investigated. And hopefully through this scheme to grasp the process of Chinese learners’ understanding of diversified media texts and critical understanding of these media texts. Finally, through the above investigation, a critical media literacy teaching program suitable for Chinese people was designed. I hope this study can be used as a reference basis for future media literacy research, and also a new perspective and a way of thinking for Chinese students is provided by using Korean literary works as a medium. And it facilities the students to re-examine their media literacy, critically understand various media texts, and make their own critical value judgments in line with social values and ethical attitude.
