Pedagogy Workshop
Boost Critical Thinking in Chinese Language Classes

Date and Time: Friday, April 28 from 3:40-4:40 pm ET
Location: Asia Society (725 Park Ave, New York, NY 10021)

Integrating higher order thinking skills (HOTS) into language learning cultivates key skills for 21st Century success. Not only should Chinese language classrooms be the posits of verbs, vocabulary, and conversations about daily lives, they should also foster students’ critical thinking skills. In this interactive workshop, you will learn strategies to integrate HOTS into instruction employing authentic materials and questioning techniques. Participants will practice and share techniques that encourage students to think more deeply, even at the introductory level.

Presenters:

  • Yu-Lan Lin: CLASS, Boston Public Schools (retired), MA
  • Baocai Jia: CLASS, Fremont Union High School District (retired), CA
  • Carol Chen-Lin: CLASS, Choate Rosemary Hall School, CT
  • Lucy Chu Lee: CLASS, Seton Hall Preparatory School, NJ
