In this book, we try to provide a practical, down-to-earth guide
for those who are involved in language learning and teaching. We
hope that this book will be a useful reading for those who would
like to incorporate higher-order thinking skills (HOTS)-enhancing
techniques in their teaching practice. We set out from the position
that, although it is hardly doubtful that it is at the heart of
education, critical thinking is in reality often not given its due
attention in pedagogy, particularly in language education. This
book offers readers some practical advice on how to implement HOTS
in their own practice. It has been written to take the reader
through each technique with the ultimate goal of promoting HOTS
step-by-step. In the introductory chapter, we present an overview
of the theory behind HOTS, its definition, its relation to Bloom's
Taxonomy, its two dimensions (critical thinking and reflective
thinking), and the ideas of some influential thinkers in this area.
The subsequent chapters present six HOTS-enhancing techniques that
classroom teachers can draw from, namely graphic organizers,
critical discourse analysis, argumentation, emotion regulation and
emotional intelligence enhancing techniques, reflective journals,
and mindfulness-based strategies. As the book draws on a
wide-ranging review of literature with exercises for direct use
with language learners, we hope that this provides both theoretical
and practical support for the teaching process to help language
learners become effective critical thinkers. The compilation of the
ideas in this book took us a long time, over a decade. Something
that takes such a long time requires much engagement and life
experience; so did this book.
