Series: Research on Teaching Thinking and Creativity

Across the world, education is being restructured to include greater focus on developing critical and creative skills. In second language education, research suggests that cognition and language development are closely related. Yet despite increasing interest in the teaching of thinking skills, critical thinking has not been widely intergrated into language teaching.

Thinking Skills and Creativity in Second Language Education presents a range of investigations exploring the relationship between thinking skills and creativity, and second language education. Focusing on cognitive, affective, social, and emotional perspectives, this book highlights current research and raises questions that will set the direction for future research. Its aims are as follows:

Provide an in-depth understanding of the link between second language development and thinking skills.

Consider approaches to developing thinking skills in second language instruction.

Examine practices in implementing thinking skills in second language learning.

Offer an updated list of sources of information on thinking skills in second language education.

A new addition to the Research on Teaching Thinking and Creativity series, this book is relevant to researchers in the field of educational psychology, to Masters degree and PhD students in this field, and to anyone interested in developing thinking skills.
