Language is not only about words. It is also about how you understand ideas, make connections, and express your thoughts clearly.

These abilities are part of what we call critical thinking skills. 

What Are Critical Thinking Skills?

Critical thinking means:

• looking at an idea carefully
• asking questions about it
• understanding different sides
• making your own judgement or opinion
• explaining why you think that way

You are not just learning English sentences — you are learning how to think in English, and that is what helps you communicate confidently in the real world.

Why Are Critical Thinking Skills Useful for English Learners?

When you use critical thinking in English, you gain important skills:

• You understand ideas more deeply.
• You speak with more confidencebecause you know why you believe something.
• You listen betterbecause you are looking for meaning, not just words.
• You build stronger conversationsbecause you can give reasons, compare ideas, and ask thoughtful questions.

These skills help in work, travel, meeting new people, and even when reading or watching content in English.

How My Classes Help You Build These Skills

My classes are designed to help you grow not only in English but also in how you think in English.
Each class naturally builds critical thinking in different ways — through simple activities, guided questions, and real communication practice.

Here’s how each session contributes:

1. Topic Discussions

These classes help you explore one idea more deeply.
You practise explaining your thoughts, comparing viewpoints, and understanding perspectives — all important parts of critical thinking.

2. Picture Practice (technique recommended for upper-intermediate and  advanced students)

Pictures help you observe carefully and describe what you see.
This trains your brain to notice details, organise ideas, and use English to explain your interpretation — it is a gentle form of analytical thinking.

3. News Article discussions

Through news, you learn to understand information, think about causes and effects, and consider different angles.
This strengthens your ability to analyse and express ideas clearly.

4. Opinion Expression Classes

These sessions help you express your own views confidently and naturally.
You learn to give reasons, reflect, and make meaningful statements — essential skills for thoughtful communication.

Critical thinking is not complicated.
It simply means understanding more, asking questions, and expressing ideas clearly.

My classes create a safe and supportive space where you can practise these skills step by step, through everyday topics, pictures, stories(see my book reading class too), news, and conversations.

You will not only improve your English — you will also strengthen your ability to think, understand, and communicate in a more confident and meaningful way in English.
