This methodological manual is designed as a methodological manual in discourse analysis for second year students who learn English as a second language. One of the challenges that both English teachers and students face is teaching and learning critical thinking skills, as opposed to merely assessing for comprehension. Ultimately, texts are understood through a reader’s interpretation of the larger organization structures signaled by the writer and it is through this understanding that Discourse Analysis becomes useful to improve reading comprehension. Discourse is an approach of looking at language and it is concerned with the relationship between language and the contexts it is used in. Though, an awareness of how language is used in relation to context, roles and relationship of speakers, can sometimes be used and be useful in the classroom, especially in getting learners to sound more natural.
