摘要：Nowadays, people usually start their everyday life with reading or listening the news.Therefore, news has a crucial effect on shaping our worldviews. Hence, the present study is concentratedon the news discourse to see how critically and consciously people, and especially the English languagelearners read the news. Therefore, two groups of English language students were considered as theparticipants. One of them was taught CDA principles of Van Dijk (1993), while the other group was not.They were supposed to analyze two biased texts from BBC. The results demonstrated that the first group’sanalysis had no organized framework, and their pieces of evidence were weak to support their claims;however, the second group, who was taught CDA principles, was more conscious of the writers’tendency, and submitted some linguistic clues as the evidence of their claims. It was concluded thatlearning CDA techniques is necessary for EFL learners, in order to raise their critical awareness aboutthe hidden ideologies of the news or media, in general.
