1. Reading is not only a mechanical process of looking at and recognizing words
and absorbing them; it is a critical process of recognising words, absorbing
their meaning on different levels and in different ways and then processing the
information in our minds to obtain a deeper understanding of ourselves, other
people and the world (TL501 2020: 8)
1.1 Two crucial aspects of the critical reading process from the given explanation
are:
a. Recognizing words and absorbing their meaning on different levels: This aspect
highlights the importance of not just understanding the literal meaning of words but also
delving deeper into their connotations, implications, and various interpretations. It
encourages readers to engage with texts on multiple levels, which enhances
comprehension and critical thinking skills.
b. Processing information to obtain a deeper understanding of ourselves, other people,
and the world: This aspect emphasizes the transformative nature of critical reading. It
suggests that reading goes beyond mere absorption of information; it involves
introspection, empathy, and gaining insights into human experiences and societal
issues. By processing information critically, readers can broaden their perspectives and
develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
These aspects are important in the critical reading process because they foster
analytical thinking, empathy, and personal growth. They encourage readers to question,
interpret, and reflect on texts, leading to a richer and more nuanced understanding of
the subject matter.
