Presenter: Serena Chu-Mraz
Students who are critical thinkers think independently, make well-informed decisions, and consider differing viewpoints-skills needed throughout their lives. Integrating critical thinking in EFL classes accelerates language learning, fosters intrinsic motivation, and empowers students to reach their potential. Unfortunately, these skills are often neglected in the EFL classroom. Critical thinking should be practiced and taught directly to students. This webinar will discuss the benefits (and challenges) of teaching critical thinking and demonstrate activities that encourage students of all levels to consider different perspectives, evaluate information, and think deeply.
