IN-SERVICE TRAINING COURSE: HIGHER-ORDER THINKING SKILLS (HOTS) FOR EFFECTIVE LANGUAGE LEARNING LECTURER: DR. HELEN OSIMO PLACE: 'PISGA', HAIFA (Derech Hayam) OPENING: 30th March 2015; 30 hours over 8 meetings COURSE CONTENT: Language is better learned and retained when structures, lexis and texts undergo deep processing. Deep processing includes a number of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), such as deducing rules and meaning, classifying, finding patterns, synthesizing, applying information, and more. This course will look at the various ways teachers can apply HOTS to all domains of language-learning to foster improved understanding, memorization and retention of language items. For each unit there will also be critical evaluation of course books and internet material in an attempt to enhance what is available, so that learning becomes more meaningful, interesting and effective. The course is suitable for teachers of Junior High and High School.
