    This case study investigates stakeholder perceptions of new media’s influence on English language proficiency and media literacy within a school, focusing on insights from teachers, students, parents, and school administrators. The study addresses two core questions: how stakeholders perceive new media’s impact on students’ English skills, and the roles and challenges of media literacy in enabling students to navigate digital content effectively. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through focus group interviews involving 11 school-leavers, their parents, four EFL teachers, and the school’s principal and vice-principal, enabling nuanced discussions and multifaceted perspectives. Additionally, a web-based questionnaire, completed by 60 participants, provided supplementary insights that enriched the overall findings. Results reveal that while new media is perceived as a catalyst for autonomous learning, its unmoderated use can lead to excessive reliance, which may impede the development of essential cognitive skills, such as critical thinking and creativity. Notably, the ability to distinguish fact from opinion emerged as the lowest competency among students, underscoring a critical gap in current media literacy efforts. The study advocates for a balanced integration of digital tools in educational settings, recommending structured media literacy curricula and enhanced teacher training. Future research will extend this exploration through targeted interventions measuring the impact of digital media on English language competencies and media literacy in diverse educational contexts. Keywords: media literacy, competencies, new media, teacher development, secondary education.

    MEASURING PEDAGOGICAL-DIDACTICAL MEDIA LITERACY COMPETENCIES OF EFL TEACHERS
    (Toraighyrov University, 2024-09-26)
    Media literacy competencies have become increasingly vital in the contemporary educational landscape due to the pervasive role of digital media in communication, information dissemination, and social interaction. This study measures the pedagogical and didactic competencies of 400 EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers in secondary schools regarding their ability to teach media literacy. Utilising a web-based questionnaire, the research assesses teachers’ proficiency in various instructional strategies, ranging from basic technical instruction to advanced critical and participatory teaching methods. The findings indicate a high level of competency among teachers in imparting technical skills related to media device usage, whereas competencies in fostering critical awareness and encouraging participation in public debate through media were less developed. The study underscores the necessity for a comprehensive media literacy curriculum that balances technical instruction with critical thinking and communication skills. Limitations of the study include potential biases inherent in self-reported data and the absence of contextual insights from naturalistic observations. Future research should incorporate longitudinal and observational methodologies to validate these findings and examine the integration of AI tools in media literacy education. This research provides a foundational understanding of current teaching practices and competencies, offering valuable insights for the enhancement of media literacy education strategies.
