OVERVIEW
Thinking critically is seen as an essential 21st century skill, but what exactly is it and can it be taught? In this webinar, Hugh and Andrew will address these issues and suggest critical thinking tasks that fit well in communicative English classes as they offer interesting opportunities for discussion, teaching language and giving young people a voice. Reference will be made to the National Geographic Learning series, Perspectives.
