This article was from my RSS feed. I observe my group of student teachers instructing students several times during the semester. Their lesson plans must contain evidence of higher order questioning or critical thinking activities. This article provided some good examples of critical thinking activities for ESL students. I think we erroneously believe that critical thinking activities should not be incorporated into an ESL classroom because of the students’ limited English proficiency. I liked this article because it contained a variety of methods to teach vocabulary as opposed to simply providing the definition.
