Abstract

This article analyses how well nine university freshmen grasped the ideology of two editorials addressing the same political subject from opposing standpoints. The methodology was qualitative, using open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to collect student responses and comments. These were then linguistically analysed using the theoretical apparatus of discourse analysis. The results reflect a wide array of behaviour, ranging from readers who can identify ideology and create a coherent, personal response to readers who give erratic, incoherent interpretations. The discussion of the data suggests a number of ways to foster the learning of reading practices that are more critical and attuned to context.
