This interaction needs whole language in which language skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing; associated knowledge of vocabulary, meaning, syntax, etc.; and also, thinking skills are interwoven. This means that language should be kept whole and ＂if language isn＇t kept whole, it isn＇t language anymore＂ （Rigg, 1991, p. 522, cited in Richards ＆ Rodgers, 2001, p. 109）. In English as a Second Language/English Foreign Language （ESL/EFL） learning settings, improvement in one skill can affect the development of other skills. A particular course may highlight certain skills, but if the teacher is creative or specific tasks and problems are used in language learning settings, learners are provided with the opportunity to improve multiple, integrated skills. This paper aims at elaborating on critical thinking approach to language learning and introducing practical ideas for helping teachers to integrate language and thinking skills. It introduces 3 critical thinking activities （Dialogue journals, reading logs and literacy portfolios）, and also discusses how implementing them can serves as a way to integrate language skills. It also maintains that engaging learners in these activities helps them use authentic materials and solve problems of their own interest that in turn has a positive effect on student＇s motivation.展开更多

Animated film is divided into two-dimensional animation and three-dimensional animation, both in the retention feature animated films, based on the performance of each with different strengths, thus forming a different artistic style. Wherein the two-dimensional animation is the most common one is the most basic form of expression in animation technology is relatively mature and complete, but because of the development of animation techniques, two-dimensional animation can not meet the needs of the audience. Thus, the effective combination of two-dimensional animation and three-dimensional animation technology, the advantages of integration between the two is particularly important, so that innovation in the form of screen performance, enhance audio-visual experience. In this paper, two-dimensional animation and three-dimensional animation skills fusion analysis and research, and put forward a number of specific observations, in order to learn.展开更多
