The Creation of the Textbook Titled English for 21st Century Skills Synchronous
In our increasingly interconnected world, people are learning, creating, and interacting in unprecedented ways, but maximizing these opportunities also requires emotional and social skills for creative thinking, solving problems, and implementing solutions. English for 21st Century Skills can help educators achieve this goal. In this forum discussion, the book company and the editors will explore ways in which creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, inclusion, wellbeing, leadership, and other 21st century skills can be integrated and developed in language learning contexts. If you wish to keep up to date with the latest developments in this increasingly important field of language education, please join us. MYSTERY EASTER EGG
