The first test was the students chose the part of speech of 24 words while the second test was the students answered 14 multiple choices. The result of this study revealed that students‘familiarity about part of speech was still fair. This was evidenced by the data that has been analyzed that the percentage of students who categorized words into the correct part of speech only reached an average of 40%. Besides, the results of multiple choices showed that the most comprehended part of speech was pronoun. It was around 21.6% - 22.7% of the errors found in the students‘ answers and the least comprehended part  of speech was  adverb and preposition that reached the correct answer around 25.8 %– 29.9%. Thus, it was suggested that the students should learn more about parts of speech. The lecturer must pair the topics taught in class with part of speech so that students became familiar with it and can ultimately differentiate.

Abstract

The ideology and socio-political viewpoints of writers significantly shape text and language products. Hence, students engaging in literacy tasks, such as reading and writing, should approach them with a critical mindset, considering various perspectives rather than accepting information uncritically. Critical literacy pedagogy addresses these requirements, aiming to cultivate critical literacy skills in students with the guidance of teachers, who themselves must possess critical thinking abilities and literacy. This study explores English teachers' perceptions and grasp of critical literacy pedagogy. Sixty teachers participated, responding to questionnaires comprising both closed and open-ended questions, alongside brief interviews. The data obtained, quantitative and qualitative, were analyzed through mathematical computations and coding techniques respectively, revealing teachers' positive attitudes toward critical literacy pedagogy. However, this enthusiasm wasn't consistently reflected in its implementation due to cultural beliefs and insufficient teacher knowledge. Consequently, the study recommends professional development opportunities for teachers to enhance their understanding and proficiency in incorporating critical literacy pedagogy, particularly within EFL contexts.
