Critical thinking is often associated with teaching students at higher language levels. Perhaps it’s because the kinds of problem-solving tasks which are associated with critical thinking require a level of English at Intermediate or above. Maybe it’s also that the kind of language used to describe critical thinking skills includes high level terminology including analysis, evaluation, reflection, reasoned, rationale, bias and so on. Whatever the reason(s), there’s a tendency when we teach students with lower levels of English to only use activities and tasks which draw on lower order thinking (remembering, understanding, applying) instead of using higher order thinking tasks (analyzing, evaluating, creating). There’s also the danger that low-level speakers of English can be treated as if they have low-level intelligence when this is clearly this is not the case.
The challenge therefore is to include activities and tasks which encourage lower and higher order thinking but which are achievable with language at an elementary or pre-intermediate level, an even at beginner level in some situations.
