Speaking skills in a language rely on massive input, listening and reading. Critical thinking skills rely on knowledge of the subject matter, acquired through massive input, reading and listening. I don't think these skills can be taught without massive input.

0:00 - When it comes to critical thinking, first we need to get the language into us.
2:04 - The job of a teacher should be to inspire a thirst for knowledge: reading and listening.
4:02 - The more knowledgeable a person is on a subject, the more I value their opinion.
5:30 - Language study needs to be more directed by the student and not the teacher.
5:50 - My Persian tutor Sahra helps me learn from content that interests me.
8:06 - Is the idea of teaching critical thinking a fad?
