ABSTRACT
This presentation offers a first look of "Reason & Respond," a critical thinking coursebook for A2-B1 level students, set for release in 2025. Building on Hadley & Boon's (2023) cyclical approach to teaching critical thinking, the aim of the coursebook is to guide students in developing a critical thinking disposition. It focuses on differentiating facts from opinions, recognizing biases and assumptions, listening attentively to others, and evaluating arguments. The author will provide an overview of the first unit, where students learn to identify and support facts.
