The book explains how infusion-thinking lessons can be structured to help students develop critical thinking along with language learning. Further, it uses a case study as a real-world example to examine the applicability and feasibility of infusion-thinking lessons in the EFL context and their effectiveness in developing students’ critical thinking and language learning. Packed with thinking activities and techniques, this practical, hands-on manual provides original ideas and empirical data, giving teachers everything they need to plan their lessons to improve students’ critical thinking within language courses and evaluate their teaching.Applied linguisticsLanguage and languages—Study and teachingApplied Linguisticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N13000Language Teachinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O46000Applied linguistics.Language and languages—Study and teaching.Applied Linguistics.Language Teaching.428.0071Lin Yueauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut921310BOOK9910300580603321Developing Critical Thinking in EFL Classes2066429UNINA
