From the ground up… Integrating criticality into initial teacher training Rose Aylett www.pop-uptrainer.com

Criticality as ‘the practice of socially situated reflection and evaluation’ - Banegas & Villacañas de Castro (2016) Criticality. ELT J 70 (4), 455-457. ‘Twenty-first century learners require the ability to evaluate multiple sources of information, judge the usefulness and reliability of its content, and make decisions about what to believe’ – Yang & Gamble (2013), Effective and practical critical thinking-enhanced EFL instruction. ELT J 67 (4), 398-412.

‘At present, as teachers, we really do an excellent job of transmitting the content, but we certainly fail to teach how to think, how to understand, how to analyze and how to evaluate’ – Mustafa Z. Altan, (2010), Teaching Global Issues. Modern English Teacher 19 (1), 60-64.

I believe… Reading aloud is not a useful classroom activity. Teacher talking time should be kept to a minimum. I should teach L1 culture as well as language. Activities should be personalised where possible. There should be a balance of accuracy and fluency in every lesson. Learners should be tested regularly. Speaking is more important than writing in class. I should encourage students to aim for native speaker pronunciation. The teacher should never use the learners’ L1. Native speakers make better English teachers.
