2 critically analysing teaching material when selecting for class - in terms of how it will benefit Ss rather than 'it looks fun' #eltchat |
| Marisa_C |
12:03 PM |
@TeachEslToday good link of CT to reflective thinking - a good idea on any teacher development programme #eltchat |
| AlexandraKouk |
12:03 PM |
Should critical thinking be two-fold: both T and Ss should engage in it #eltchat |
| TailormadeEng |
12:03 PM |
For me it covers several areas 1 using experience to support/refute what Ts read in formal training courses e.g. Delta #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden |
12:04 PM |
@TailormadeEng so critically assessing ones own TD paths etc? #eltchat |
| jankenb2 |
12:04 PM |
@TailormadeEng #eltchat Yes, let's explore CT in teacher training & decide if a Ts aptitude to think critically is dependent on context. |

@Shaunwilden yes that's one way of looking it but also in a practical, day-to-day way (points 2 and 3) #eltchat |

#ELTchat Thinking critically vs. Critical thinking? |
| jankenb2 |

@Marisa_C @AlexandraKouk #eltchat CT enables a teacher to ask the right questions eg ?'s that scaffold Ss thinking to think deeper. |
| Shaunwilden |
12:06 PM |
@TailormadeEng Am trying to sort out CT in TD (the topic) and CT in teaching #eltchat |
| TailormadeEng |
12:07 PM |
@Marisa_C I think some already do eg Delta M3, it's a key criterion #eltchat |
| TeachEslToday |
12:07 PM |
To be able to help our Ss to develop critical thinking, We must think critically first #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden |
12:07 PM |
@TailormadeEng No its fine, what i meant was if there is a line between the two #eltchat |
