Hello. I'm interested in critical thinking and reading in the Japanese education context. I love reading books, either Japanese or English. (My favorite writer is Louise Penny.) I also love swimming.

How to Make Evaluative Questions More Critical
This study focuses on evaluative questions and how they can be modified to critical reading questions. It proposes that the eight elements of thought be used as the essential dimensions of questions to be explored and suggests that learners relate their answers not just to the self but to the real world as well to take more responsibility for their answers. Learners' sample answers are provided to demonstrate the validity of this approach.
