Critical Thinking | A Theme of the Week Overview

In a world overflowing with information, opinions, and "hot takes," how do you separate the signal from the noise?

Welcome to Critical Thinking Week on the English Plus Podcast! We're dedicating an entire week to one of the most essential skills for modern life. Forget dry, academic lectures—we're giving you a fascinating and practical toolkit to help you think more clearly, confidently, and curiously.

Here’s a look at the massive week we have planned for you:

A 5-Part Podcast Series, "The Critical Thinking Renaissance": We'll start by defining what critical thinking really is, learn to spot logical fallacies in media and ads, uncover our own cognitive biases, and explore whether AI is a partner or an adversary in our quest for clarity.

In-Depth Articles & Interactive Quizzes: Head over to our website to explore the history of critical thinking from Socrates to today, learn how to raise a generation of critical thinkers, and discover why it's the single most valuable skill for your career and well-being. Then, test your new skills with our fun quizzes!

New "Thinking Out Loud" Episodes: Get personal with episodes on the liberating power of saying "I don't know," a satirical guide on "How to Be Right All the Time," and a story about the difficult process of changing a deeply held belief.

5 Themed Listening Comprehension Practices: Sharpen your English while learning about the Sherlock Holmes method of deduction, the tragic story of the Challenger disaster, and the powerful debate technique of "steel-manning."

By the end of this week, you'll feel better equipped to engage with the world around you. The journey starts now.
