Speaking of Critical Thinking provides students with an understanding of, and practice with, problem solving and critical thinking. Though critical thinking is not often included in Japanese educational curriculum, it is an extremely important life skill that enables deep learning and future life success. This textbook provides several short reading passages about the various steps and aspects of critical thinking. However, its primary focus is on student experience with the processes of creative thinking and problem solving, including logic, organization, creative thinking, and communication. Speaking of Critical Thinking includes many short case studies and activities for these purposes based on the belief that one “Ah hah!” experience is worth several “Uh-huh” moments. The textbook is primarily targeted for intermediate to low advanced English-language proficiencies and is designed for student-centered classes promoting active communication.
