Critical Reading and Writing in the Digital Age is a fully
introductory, interactive textbook that explores the power
relations at work in and behind the texts we encounter in our
everyday lives. Using examples from numerous genres - such as
fiction, poetry, advertisements and newspapers - this textbook
examines the language choices a writer must make in structuring
texts, representing the world and positioning the reader. Assuming
no prior knowledge of linguistics, Critical Reading and Writing in
the Digital Age offers guidance on how to read texts critically and
how to develop effective writing skills. Extensively updated, key
features of the second edition include: a radically revised and
repackaged section that highlights the theme of discourses of power
and authority and the new possibilities for resisting them; a
revamped analysis of the art of communication which has changed due
to the advent of new media including Facebook and Wikipedia; fresh
examples, exercises and case studies including fan fiction,
articles from the BBC, Daily Mail and South China Morning Post, and
a selection of international ads for a variety of products; a brand
new companion website at www.routledge.com/cw/goatly featuring
projects, quizzes and activities for each chapter, a glossary and
further reading. Written by two experienced teachers, Critical
Reading and Writing in the Digital Age is an ideal coursebook for
students of English language.
