”Lesson by lesson everything was very interesting and easy. I learned what Media Literacy is and I also understood how to analyze and interpret media messages through guided questions. I became familiar with the two types of media: traditional and social media and how to compare these two types of media. I understood what an advertisement is and how they are used. Now I am able to recognize the ways in which the Internet has changed advertisements. I became familiar with the ways in which the media portray different groups, to recognize and to be able to use different negatives. I am grateful to my teacher – he is the best”.

”I would like to share some advantages of the course English for Media Literacy – the content is very clearly presented and the technical part is also very easy to handle. The content of the course is really up-to-date and useful and students can learn all the information independently. Students can improve their grades by retaking quizzes or assignments as many times as they want. Any problem can be solved by using the Help Center and the course can be completed any time suitable for the student. There are no evaluations or exams – just interesting games and assignments.”

”I liked the entire course: online assignments, quizzes, games, and everything else! Most interesting topics for me were about ways in which the media portray different groups, race and ethnicity in the media, women in the media. As a conclusion for me: we must think critically about the messages we receive: are those messages fairly and accurately describing and showing people from different groups? After the course, I always think about what is included and omitted in the media, if different groups are included and accurately portrayed in the media. I feel like a true media literate expert thanks to our online trainers: Ian Nichols, Lauren Fiori and our facilitator from Balti Maria Bondari.”

”I have just graduated the ”English for Media Lietray” course and I am proud of my great achievement! I am so grateful to the organizers and facilitators that I was part of this project which improved my English and contributed to my personal development! I have already recommended my friends to enroll in this useful course and I shared with them my beautiful experience. I really enjoyed all assignments from this course because it was interactive, comprehensible, practical and applicable. This is what we can’t see in traditional courses taught in Moldovan schools which don’t focus so much on applicability and development of critical thinking. I think online teaching is very useful and accessible to everyone who wants to learn new things and broaden his/her perspectives.”
