Overview
Developing Higher Order Thinking requires teachers to establish with their student a knowledge base of thinking skills, reasoning, critical thought, and problem-solving.
Our workshop will introduce you how to create higher levels of thinking by restating the facts, therefore, by involving the students to do something with the facts by creating an understanding of the arguments taught in the class and connecting them to other facts or concepts.
During this process, the teacher will introduce the students to how categorise and manipulate those facts and concepts in order put them together in new or novel ways, and apply them as we seek new solutions to the new problem.
Completing this course will help you:
- Integrate thinking skills into your classroom

- Apply a series of learning activities to develop higher order thinking around one theme or story
- Expos alternative perspectives on different topics.

Methodologies
Total Physical Response
Total Physical Response is considered to be an excellent way of learning vocabulary. Moreover, since it is based on commands, the students can easily learn the meaning of the words in the target language.
The Structural Approach
This method is based on the opinion that it is imperative to understand the structures of the language. Understanding the complexities of the structures of the sentences in a language is more important than learning the vocabulary of the language.
The Direct Method
This method primarily focuses on the development of oral skills. One of the most important characteristic feature of this method is that visual materials and real-life objects are used. Moreover, such an oral training helps in reading and writing. There is no translation involved in this method.
