Developing critical thinking

sUPPorting critical thinking

One aspect of critical thinking is the ability to put 

yourself in someone else’s position. Asking students to 

give advice to someone with a problem (in this case, 

the fear of public speaking) which they themselves may 

not have helps students understand others more.

Encourage students to use their monolingual 

dictionaries to check the meaning of any words in the 

Ways of overcoming fears box. Have the students form 

groups and ask them to discuss the questions. After 

the discussion, have students share their answers and 

advice with the whole class.
