Critical thinking in the English Language Classroom

-

   On 23rd of March I had the chance to meet John Hughes and Hetain Patel at  the National Geographic Learning Conference held in Bucharest. For Hetain, this was his first time in Romania. As a TED X Speaker he managed to make a point about the authenticity of English and "the problem" of being spoken all over the world with different accents. John Hughes offered more information about critical thinking for ELT Language Classroom.

Critical thinking used in everyday lessons creates global citizens, makes learning relevant and enjoyable, prepares learners with the 21st century skills and teaches learners how to use English effectively.

 A lesson becomes successful and memorable because of the content that engages the student emotionally, spiritually, personally and professionally. The information needs to be the one that students want to understand. This content is most precious when it prompts questions that students/ pupils want to discuss about. It needs to inspire them and, nevertheless, enables students to learn more than just English.

In legatura cu Astrologia Karmica ar trebui sa se stie ca este Astrologia cea mai importanta decit toate,fiind denumita si Astrologia tristetii si durerii sufletesti care ne atentioneaza drastic si usturator  daca am comis greseli,care ne arata cum  sa reparam acele greseli pe care le comitem sau le-am comis,ajutind

How can a person's self-presentation communicate both independence and desire for acceptance at the same time?

-
People form impressions of us whenever we are in public, but we are not always actively monitoring or regulating those impressions. In many situations, our self-presentations are automatic and habitual, and we are devoting little conscious attention to how we are being perceived by others. In other situations we become acutely aware of the impressions. Being ignored or shunned by others can increase self-presentational concerns. Sometimes this makes you motivate yourself in making positive impressions to those around you. People are more attentive when they are interacting with casual acquaintances and business associates than when interacting with close friends, family members and loved ones.   The person that would like to project an impression of an independent one needs to possess an awareness, a cognitive ability called social acuity. People must be able to anticipate how their symbolic gestures will be interpreted by others. To create the desired impressions o
