- Abstract
This paper aims investigating the engagement of critical language awareness in pedagogical context and how it can develop student’s identity. As every day students contact new-varied language and culture products from social media, these may contain ideologies, values, and cultures that are foreign to students. Students need to understand the linguistic features beyond the discourse since behind every text there is ideological goal that may unconsciously influence student identity and it can be evaluate through critical language awareness. Critical language awareness itself is an approach in applied linguistics and language pedagogy which helps students understand language function and the way language works. Critical language awareness focuses on how language represents the world and social construction. It is in line with one of language function, to shape speaker’s identity - in this case, the students. Students may display their identity through how they write and speak. Critical language awareness makes students understand their own language. Critical language awareness cannot be directly taught through the textbooks, but rather, the students build awareness by themselves. Nevertheless, the teacher can ease it through linguistic learning activities. Those linguistic learning activities can also sharpened student’s identity.
