In today’s crowded language-learning market, selecting the right textbook can be challenging. Facing Changes – Learning English through Critical Thinking stands out by giving students greater ownership over both their English language development and their ability to think critically. Designed for intermediate learners, it promotes the four key skills—reading, writing, speaking, and listening—while encouraging higher-level thinking and self-expression.
The book is structured around eight thoughtfully crafted chapters that cover contemporary issues and themes relevant to SDGs. From Unit 1, learners are guided to question, analyze, and interpret information, acquiring not only essential language tools but also the ability to engage in deeper reflection. Activities encourage creativity and collaboration, ranging from reflective essays and structured debates to listening practice and guided reading tasks.
Key Features include:
- Integrated Skills & Critical Thinking– Develops reading, writing, speaking, and listening while fostering deeper analysis, reflection, and problem-solving.
- Contemporary & Relevant Content– Eight chapters focus on current global issues and SDG themes that engage university-level learners.
- Flexible & Practical Structure– Designed for 15- or 30-class courses, with adaptable activities including essays, debates, listening practice, and focused reading.
