Abstract
We should be teaching students how to think. Instead, we are teaching them what to think. (Clement & Lochhead, 1980, Cognitive Process Instruction). That is, critical thinking has a vital role in education. Based on classroom experimentation, it can be said that a student who thinks critically can ask appropriate questions, gather relevant information, efficiently and creatively sort through this information, reason logically from this information, and come to reliable and trustworthy conclusions about the world that enable one to live and act successfully. Therefore, they are more productive while using their second language. The aim of this paper is to present how to develop critical thinking skills of English learners via critical thinking activities. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
