Critical Thinking Course Program Features

The Asian Critical Thinking Education Association independently develops coursewares and teaching materials for students between the ages of 7 and 16 to develop critical thinking and debating capabilities. From bootcamps to classroom settings, from online to offline, we create the most innovative language learning experience and discuss the most pressing issues.

Cultivate all-round abilities

Critical thinking training is an integrated development of language skills

that includes the four language fundamentals of listening, speaking,

reading and writing, which are embedded in the element of thinking:

Reading and synthesizing information
Forming viewpoints on certain issues
Expressing through argumentative writing
Expressing through public speaking

Through our training, you will learn to effectively collect, synthesize, analyze and present information and knowledge from a wide range of sources. The logical method of synthesizing viewpoints enables students to ask and answer critical questions in a distinctive and organized manner.

Brand-new Cantonese Online Classes

Designed for primary school students aged 6-12, our Cantonese class helps Cantonese-speaking students to be articulate and flexible in their thinking.

The program consists of 20 lessons, designed, written and taught by a professional team, that combine logical thinking and oral expression:

programs are designed by experts in critical thinking education;
lesson plans are written by professional Chinese teachers;
educational videos are recorded by experienced debate coaches;
students will learn to express their ideas, improve their speaking and increase their self-confidence.

Program structure combines key knowledge points, thinking skill sets and practical exercises to develop students’ logical thinking and communication skills.

The content consists of five modules, which are based on pressing global issues, including environment, society, nature, technology and personal development. In addition to teaching background knowledge of each topic, students will also learn to mobilize different thinking tools to incorporate thinking into their daily lives and to utilize the skill sets to broaden their horizons.

Each lesson is accompanied by exercises that allow children to apply key knowledge and speaking skills in the four areas of reading, writing, listening and speaking. As a result, they could better absorb new knowledge and grow into good thinkers and presenters.
