Abstract
Semiotics is one of the approaches to media education. We can not only study the alphabet of deaf-mutes, symbolic rites, polite formulas, but also study the commercials, sit-coms, and the Internet. New media and technologies create new images, icons, symbols, and metaphors. The more we study and experience media, the more likely we see, understand, and interpret media. Media literacy education is a crucial step towards "participatory democracy." The focus is to highlight the importance of studying signs, symbols in media education in order to gain different perspectives in our teaching styles and strategies. The main goal of this presentation is to draw on the natural links between semiotics and media education. We explore how a critical approach to the study of media combines knowledge, reflection, and action, promotes educational equity, and prepares new generation to be socially responsible members of a multicultural, democratic society.
