This online professional learning workshop supports English teachers to move beyond basic comprehension and systematically develop higher-order thinking skills in everyday classroom practice. Led by Ms Phyuu Thet Paing, the session offers practical, low-preparation strategies that enable teachers to upgrade common reading, vocabulary, and speaking activities from lower-order to higher-order thinking. Designed for real classroom contexts, the workshop focuses on small, achievable adjustments that strengthen learner engagement and cognitive depth without increasing workload. Participants will leave with immediately applicable techniques aligned with effective English language teaching practice.
