The contribution highlights how the CDA allows to focus on social functions, identities and power relations mediated by language(s) in educational settings and then it presents an analytical framework widely adopted in social and educational research. Secondly, it exemplifies the application of CDA by presenting a case study on literacy education. Finally, after underlying the convergence between new media literacies and CDA perspectives on the concept of learning, it outlines some possible applications of CDA for the empirical study of media education practices.
