Consider the Issues: High-Intermediate Listening and Critical Thinking Skills Paperback - 2012

Consider the Issues helps high-intermediate and advanced students develop critical thinking skills as they gain insight into American attitudes and values.

Language and concepts are integrated through follow-up critical thinking activities including discussion, debate, values clarification, survey, role play, case study, interview, and simulation.
