 lish Language Programs from the U.S. Department of State. The intended aud
 ience is teachers of English as a Foreign Language in countries around the
  world. If this is you\, please contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Region
 al English Language Officer for details on how to register. To accomodate 
 those in different time zones\, the talk will be presented twice\, once at
  8:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time and then again at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Dayli
 ght Time.\n\nHere's a description of what we'll talk about:\n\nEach day En
 glish language students absorb messages from newspapers\, magazines\, tele
 vision\, radio\, and many forms of social media. Just as we help our stude
 nts to read\, listen to\, and understand English\, we also want to help th
 em develop critical thinking skills to understand and assess the informati
 on they obtain through different forms of media. In this webinar we will p
 resent activities to help students ask key questions about the  messages 
 found in news and social media. We will examine specific media texts and e
 ngage in hands-on evaluation techniques that can be used in class with stu
 dents.
