Speaker
Description
During the years of 2020 to 2023, many teachers were forced into online-only classes which created both a burden to teachers and opportunities to expand our teaching repertoire to integrate more online resources and activities. This presentation will present a number of online methods and techniques to help students learn about, obtain, and engage in critical thinking. From detailed critiquing and research-based activities to easy introductory activities for critical thinking, this presentation will share methodology that has been used in the presenter’s classes across all levels of language learners. Deconstruction and supplementation of textbook-based activities will also be detailed. Participants will come away with ideas and handouts that can be used in their classroom and to help as a starting point to develop their own activities. The presenter will also discuss ideas for specific use cases from attendees during the question-and-answer section of the presentation.
