Want to help your students think more critically while developing their English skills?  Join this interactive session to discover how simple classroom routines and gamified challenges can foster critical thinking while naturally integrating the four language skills. Through the example of a classroom escape room, we will explore practical strategies that promote communication, collaboration, problemsolving, and learner engagement. Participants will leave with ready-to-use ideas that can be adapted to a variety of teaching contexts.
