Exploring Critical Thinking with my Students
by Nicole Gallagher
In this presentation, Gallagher and attendees discussed about how we can foster critical thinking in our language learning classes. She began by sharing some of her own teaching puzzles that I met in her first year as an instructor at the Center for English Discussion Class at Rikkyo University. Gallagher also talked about her own experiences of practitioner research over the past few months. The presentation finished with a useful discussion of ideas and experiences employing critical thinking in classrooms.
今回のプレゼンテーションでは、言語学習の授業の中でどのように批判的思考を育てたらよいかを、先生方とディスカッションした。導入として、立教大学のイングリッシュディスカッションセンターで、指導者1年目に抱えた指導上の課題点をいくつか皆さんにお伝えした。ここ数カ月研究した内容もお話ししようと思いますので、参加される先生方の考えや授業でリサーチした経験を聞かせて頂いた。
