VISIBLE THINKING IN EFL CLASSROOMS Visible thinking is a good approach to use in EFL classrooms because its purpose is to encourage students to think deep in different aspects, but especially about the subject matter which is in developing. People who put in practice visible thinking are more critical thinking and they have the ability to do extremely well in real life. Each EFL classroom should use this methodology or strategy in order to help students to learn a second language in a practical way in order to feel comfortable at the time of using it. Foreign language students can be really helped through visible thinking since this approach can make them more confidential with themselves; this approach is useful to make the students to participate and do not be afraid about mistakes or participation in class. The visible approach is an excellent tool for foreign language teachers who can take an advantage of it; and also help students to be autonomous in their own learning process, through great motivation of learning which is so important for the well development, also it helps to the students attitude, this means that students have the opportunity to enjoy the learning process what is so helpful because they learn and feel good during the process. Foreign language teachers have the opportunity to make the learning process more interesting and helpful in real life using the visible thinking approach, which includes attention to understanding, truth, fairness, and creativity.

students' thinking visible to themselves and one another in order they can improve it and help each other. Marta Coto
