Class Experience

Critical thinking is a set of skills and habits of mind, including the ability to define a problem, identify assumptions, analyze ideas, and reason critically, and then systematically list different possible causes, create plausible solutions, or evaluate its correctness using logical reasoning. It also includes the ability to make creative connections between ideas from different disciplines.

Please note: This is for ESL Beginner A1+ Learners. If your learner is more advanced, please try this class on Helen and Friends: https://outschool.com/classes/lets-get-thinking-problem-solving-tSHIxdNq?usid=MOFYujvR&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link

In this course, we will use our thinking hats to look at different scenarios in different ways. We will use a variety of teaching methods such as questioning to think outside the box. Each week has a different focus and aims to engage learners through discussion.
