together with another article that will be given to you in class.

We will work on definitions of critical thinking and how those can be applied to cultural studies.
See you,

Think of the following:
How can critical thinking be fostered among English language learners at school and university level?
How would you, as a future English teacher, foster critical thinking among your students?
How do you think culture and critical thinking are linked?
