Abstract
-
The paper argues that although digital technologies are often seen as tools that connect people, online communication can also create fragmentation, polarization, and exclusion. To address these problems, the author emphasizes the importance of Critical Digital Literacy (CDL), which helps learners understand how power and ideologies operate in online spaces. The paper proposes a two-part teaching strategy, inquiry-based learning and digital activism to help students critically engage with digital media. It suggests that language education and intercultural communication can play an important role in promoting a more equitable and inclusive digital environment.
