Critical Thinking Symposium - Using critical thinking in the language classroom - Daniel Norrington-Davies
Everybody thinks, but in ELT classrooms, this is often forgotten. This workshop will look at ways of encouraging students to look more critically at texts to find conclusions, flaws or assumptions rather than basic facts. We will then look at how we can use this ability to improve productive skills, enabling students to offer opinions and arguments more effectively.
- 1st slides introducing the presenter's background in critical thinking
- 1st handout looking at a text used to encourage students to read for opinions and arguments
- 2nd handout looking at a topic students had chosen more critically
- 3rd handout looking at how tasks can be adapted for coursebook texts
- 4th handout looking at how student work can be appraised critically to improve productive skills
- Final handout giving a rationale for why critical thinking should be integrated into our classroom teaching
- Final slides presenting the rationale for incorporating critical thinking tasks into our teaching
