In Carter and Nunan’s(2001) glossary, critical reading refers to”a reading practice which attends to the ideological under penning of text, as signaled not so much by what a writer choose as topic but how people, places and events are talked about”(p.220). For example, if a government is one-sidedly described in a newspaper article as the hero that has given financial and other kinds of aids to victims of volcanic eruptions,we can tell that the author of the article is the mount piece whose ideology might resemble that of the government (whether it be a communist, socialist, or a capitalistic government).
