Concentrated Cognitive Abilities: A Trilateral Educational Framework for Training of a New Generation English Teacher

Abstract

The paper examines the cultivation of intentional thinking skills in pre-service English language teachers as a fundamental aspect of their professional training. The author presents a three-phase learning model comprising the stages of awareness and comprehension of cognitive skills (Talk-Through), their incorporation into educational practice (Walk-Through), and reflective practice accompanied by continuous professional development (Drive-Through). This method enhances language competency while fostering critical, creative, and integrative thinking essential for effective teaching in contemporary educational settings.
