I have the feeling that the reason many students appear to Catherine to be "
"deficient, uncritical, insufficiently inspired" in dealing with academic
issues, is that they have not  read very much. The solution is to
encourage them
to read more and increase their knowledge. Without this knowledge I do not
believe that a language teacher can teach them "critical thinking".
