Early in 2012 I will be launching a brand new program–designed especially for China and other countries–called ENGLISH THINKING: Learn-To-Think in English, Lessons One to One Hundred.
Because many English speakers are not yet English Thinkers this will be a new program with a new website–for members only–at ENGLISHTHINKERS.COM™ and membership will be for those who seriously want to become world class English Thinkers.
It is a four-month program of daily training from lesson one to one hundred.
Membership fees are AUD$1000. In addition to the daily lessons membership will include a range of other benefits, gifts, rights and opportunities. There will also be weekly tutorials–a new opportunity for live training and social networking.
The new program at ENGLISHTHINKERS.COM™ is the culmination of more than 30 years of experience teaching thinking skills–in English–to millions of people in many countries around the world. This unique professional experience includes pioneering research and knowledge, innovations of design and applications, and a wide range of successful installations in education, science and business.
SOT members will be invited and this newsletter will keep you informed of the launch of this program scheduled for January 31, 2012.

This is a very exciting development indeed.
COUNT ME IN PLEASE …..I want to be in the first 50 people to be part of this course , not only LEARNING from it, but simultaneously TEACHING it as well.
With two adult sons teaching English in China , and having to form lasting and worthwhile relationships within its language and culture , I personally recognize the VALUE of people learning not only the symbols , and the sounds of the English language , but the patterns of THINKING which accompany the speaking and writing of the language of ENGLISH.
Constant socio linguistic contact with people interacting in any language (BEING LEARNED) allows the learner the THINKING SPACE to work with concepts and patterns of thinking in BOTH languages. Both my sons are happy to invest in learning Mandarin while TEACHING ENGLISH …..the better to understand the people they are teaching ……which will almost certainly make them better teachers .
Learning and teaching the THINKING patterns in English will be a totally absorbing and fascinating adventure and study for me ……thank you so much Michael for this inspirational leadership in forging a strong basis for international understanding through this exceptional course .

You took the thought right out of my brain. I have taught thinking – sorry, English, in China for the past 13 years – up to November of 2011, and learned very quick ly that people needed to learn to think before they could process the concepts being conveyed in English. Refer to Blooms Toxonomy of cognitive processes. The whole Chinese school system from beginning to end is nothing more than the first level – which Bloom calls knowledge. I prefer to call it ‘information’ since knowledge implies understanding.
