Title: Tigers or capybaras? - Thinking critically about the choices we make

Abstract: Much is said about the need to help our students develop critical thinking, but what are the ways we, as teachers, can develop critical thinking ourselves? And how does that affect the choices we make as educators? In this talk, we will discuss what it means to think critically about the choices we make in our practice and how to perceive, acknowledge and take into account the relationship between language and the reality(ies) it allows our learners to access. We will look at thinking frameworks we can use to allow for true development of critical thinking and how that may lead us to the social change we have long been searching for.
