Abstract

Humanist literacy is a reading awareness and understanding of human phenomena developed through critical reading activities. Critical reading activities encourage students to reflect on their reading experiences in order to make wise decisions about how to think and behave in a humane manner. Critical reading with a humanist literacy approach is needed to improve decision-making skills. The current issue arises from the lack of future learning designs that integrate humanist literacy through critical reading activities. As a result, this research focuses on incorporating humanist literacy into critical reading activities as a potential future language learning direction. The goal of this study was to describe the grand design of integrating humanist literacy in critical reading activities as a potential future language learning direction. This is a survey study in which data were gathered from the comments of lecturers and students via online questionnaires. This research instrument was created using previously validated concepts of language learning, humanist literacy characteristics, and critical reading characteristics. Using the tagCrow and AntCont applications, the data was critically and reflectively analyzed. The study's findings show that the grand design of integrating humanist literacy in critical reading activities can be carried out by communicating humanist literacy, collaborating humanist literacy, and humanist critical thinking with several indicators such as analyzing, interpreting, inferring, evaluating, explaining, and regulating oneself in a humanist manner to make wise decisions based on humanist life principles.
