Abstract

This study explored how integrating fake news deconstruction, narrative reframing, and editorial simulation enhanced critical media ethics in EFL classrooms. Moving beyond conventional language instruction, it positioned English learning as a site of ideological negotiation and epistemic responsibility. Thirty education students as teacher candidates in North Sumatra engaged in an eight-week task-based curriculum analyzing ethically problematic texts drawn from real-world media. Guided by systemic functional linguistics, critical discourse analysis, and appraisal theory, students rewrote distorted headlines, clarified vague attributions, and reconstructed visual-caption misalignments. Findings revealed that students developed rhetorical precision, ethical awareness, and stylistic maturity, transforming from passive consumers into critical and active media agents. By combining language learning with civic literacy, this study proposed a replicable model for ethical pedagogy in digital times, foregrounding truth-validation, genre critique, and linguistic agency as core components of 21st-century EFL education.

Abstract

The research analyzed student writing samples to identify common challenges such as vague conclusions, overuse of passive voice, and syntactic fragmentation by focusing on three key pedagogical components: genre-specific rhetorical moves, service lexicon precision, and contextual register awareness. Findings revealed that students often lacked awareness of professional genre conventions, resulting in ineffective expression of experiential learning and accountability. Through targeted instruction that incorporated move-based modeling with lexical enhancement and discourse-level sensitivity, participants demonstrated significant improvement in clarity, coherence and professional tone. The research underscored the effectiveness of an integrated and genre-informed approach in elevating students’ communicative competence in hospitality reporting tasks could offer implications for curriculum design in ESP contexts.
