随着议会制英语辩论赛在国内高校的推广,其对学生创新思维的培养越来越受到英语教学界广泛关注。辩论具有强烈的对抗性,能充分发挥批评思维的作用,也能锻炼和提高参与者的批判性思维能力。在辩论中培养的思维具有独立性、广阔性、深刻性、敏捷性和创造性的品质,这些品质在今后的发展至关重要。 With the popularization of the Parliamentary English Debating Competition in domestic colleges and universities, its cultivation of students’ innovative thinking has drawn more and more attention from the English teaching community. Debate has strong antagonism, can give full play to the role of critical thinking, but also exercise and improve participants’ critical thinking skills. The thinking developed in the debate is independent, broad, profound, agile and creative, and these qualities are of paramount importance in the future.
