Critical Thinking provides language teachers with a dynamic framework for encouraging critical thinking skills in explicit, systematic ways during their lessons.

With the proliferation of fallacious arguments, "fake news," and untrustworthy sources in today's multimedia landscape, critical thinking skills are vital not only in one’s native language, but also when engaged in the task of language learning. Written with the language teacher in mind, this book provides a springboard for teaching critical thinking skills in multicultural, multilingual classrooms. Suitable for graduate students, in-training teachers, and language curriculum developers interested in purposeful applications of critical thinking pedagogy for the second-language classroom, this volume presents classroom activities, suggestions for lesson planning, and ideas for researching the impact of critical thinking activities with second-language learners.

This book is ideal as an invaluable resource for teacher-directed classroom investigations as well as graduate dissertation projects.



Critical Thinking provides language teachers with a dynamic framework for encouraging critical thinking skills in explicit, systematic ways during their lessons.

Recenzijas

"The book is useful for teachers of English for General Purposes at all levels. The authors provide different activities for different levels of language proficiency. It is possible for teachers of English for Specific Purpose to devise subject-specific activities from the generic activities authors provide. Teachers of writing and other focused skills can also adapt some of the exercises for their purposes. Others in teacher development, curriculum, and programme planning will benefit from the theoretical orientations, review of pedagogical research, and the suggestions for programme development in the book. This a thoughtful, well-designed, and very helpful pedagogical resource."

Suresh Canagarajah, Pennsylvania State University, USA, Applied Linguistics, 2023

"One strength of this book is its innovative pedagogical approach. It weaves together complex concepts, easily digestible strategies, practical activities and seminal theory, helping readers personalize the content, reflect upon CT pedagogy, and consider its application in their classrooms."

"Given the proliferation of fallacious and uncritical arguments in todays multimedia landscape, CT skills are becoming increasingly important. Critical Thinking presents a comprehensive, step-by-step framework that teachers can use to help English language learners develop the CT skills necessary to navigate our complex world."

Dr. Kohnke, The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, TESOL Quarterly, 2023

"The concisely named Critical Thinking title is the latest addition to the Routledge Research and Resources in Language Teaching series. It is aimed at language teachers and curriculum developers; its key strength is the presentation of extensive practical material in the form of activities designed for immediate classroom use."

"Critical Thinking is likely to be welcomed by English language teachers who want an accessible resource of practical activities which are clearly explained and categorised."

Edward de Chazal, EAP Tutor and Teacher, Modern English Teacher, 2023
