Pensament crític i llenguatge en entorns digitals

Critical thinking and language in digital environments

In teacher training, there is a need to encourage future teachers to be able to discern reflectively and critically. This ability has a discursive aspect: on the one hand, students must be able to critically discern between reliable and rigorous texts, and, on the other hand, they must be able to develop language uses that make them elaborate reasoned discourse.. The objective of this project is based on the implementation of didactic actions for the development of students' critical thinking in the use of language in formal digital academic contexts.

This MOOC is an initiative by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya. It  runs on the SpeakApps project platform through its tools.

It is based on the principles of tandem language learning: two students learning each others’ native language to help each other to improve their language skills.
