Recenzje

"The book is useful for teachers of English for General Purposes at all levels. The authors provide different activities for different levels of language proficiency. It is possible for teachers of English for Specific Purpose to devise subject-specific activities from the generic activities authors provide. Teachers of writing and other focused skills can also adapt some of the exercises for their purposes. Others in teacher development, curriculum, and programme planning will benefit from the theoretical orientations, review of pedagogical research, and the suggestions for programme development in the book. This a thoughtful, well-designed, and very helpful pedagogical resource."

"One strength of this book is its innovative pedagogical approach. It weaves together complex concepts, easily digestible strategies, practical activities and seminal theory, helping readers personalize the content, reflect upon CT pedagogy, and consider its application in their classrooms."

"Given the proliferation of fallacious and uncritical arguments in today’s multimedia landscape, CT skills are becoming increasingly important. Critical Thinking presents a comprehensive, step-by-step framework that teachers can use to help English language learners develop the CT skills necessary to navigate our complex world."

Dr. Kohnke, The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, TESOL Quarterly, 2023

"The concisely named Critical Thinking title is the latest addition to the Routledge Research and Resources in Language Teaching series. It is aimed at language teachers and curriculum developers; its key strength is the presentation of extensive practical material in the form of activities designed for immediate classroom use."

"Critical Thinking is likely to be welcomed by English language teachers who want an accessible resource of practical activities which are clearly explained and categorised."
