Topic: Integrating Critical Thinking into EFL Academic Reading and Writing Classrooms: Part 2 

This roundtable event will continue with the previous roundtable’s topic of critical thinking in EFL academic reading and writing classrooms. Critical thinking involves evaluating information, arguments, and evidence to form a reasoned judgment. It encompasses skills such as questioning assumptions, identifying biases, considering multiple perspectives, and making well-supported decisions. Critical thinking is essential for language learners as it enhances their ability to question, analyze, and evaluate information, leading to a deeper understanding of English language content and improved language proficiency. We will build on the previous roundtable with a focus on specific reading and writing activities that will engage students in critical thinking processes and examine the English language phrases that are necessary to form balanced yet persuasive arguments.
