Abstract
Making a judgment means the expression of a view or/and putting forward a statement about specific socio-political or/and personal issues. In that sense, a judgment becomes an affirmation, but also a decision. What is the content/meaning of a judgment amid a general crisis correlated to Critical Literacy? The present talk takes a starting point the empirical observation that the educational interventions - designed on the basis of the literacy research of the past - were not activated adequately in order to enable the transformation of the content and the methodology of language teaching and thus to support and emancipate the school members towards the development of critical activities amid a crisis. On the basis of this empirical observation our paper proposes particular premises on which a curriculum should be based on, informed by critical literacy as it is redefined by the crisis experienced in Greece.
