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.
