    * Summarize

    - Characteristics of human thinking
    there are three ways about thinking.
    At the first, people think based on types of question. brain has evolved different mechanisms for dealing with various situations. Some thinking is more complex than other thinking. In addition, people think as a representational system. It is this recognition of diversity that has led to the nothion of multiful intelligences. And the last is thinking and emotion. It means that the classroom's emotional climate is so important. When students recognize the power of their own thinking, they use their skills more and solve problems for themselves rather than just waiting to be told the answer.


    - dimensions of human thinking
    the models have generally divided thought into two categories. convergent or lower-order thinking and divergent or higher order thinking.

    As a teacher, if we know about the human thinking, we can understand how learners aquire their second language. Therefore, the teacher can choose the ways which are the most suitable for the learners.
