Critical Thinking and English as a Global Language

Last week, my friends from the ELT department and I started taking online courses as part of a research study I mentioned earlier ( click here to see ).  We are supposed to write reflections every week after our sessions on our blogs. I also believe it makes the experience more permanent. 1 st Week - 07.11.2020 Critical Thinking and English as a Global Language Firstly, we defined critical thinking.

It gives you an opportunity for interactive learning. A teacher can create his/her classroom in the Second Life.  Students will have avatars too. It would be a more relaxed context then real classroom probably. They can write and speak etc. I have created an account too. Here is my cutie:
