Keywords:
Keywords: critical thinking, English language teaching, higher education, communicative competence, analytical skills, student-centered learning.Abstract
Annotation: This article explores the role of critical thinking in teaching English
in higher education. In modern education, developing students’ ability to analyze,
evaluate, and interpret information is as important as acquiring language skills. The
study examines how integrating critical thinking activities into English language
instruction enhances learners’ communicative competence and cognitive development.
Particular attention is given to interactive methods such as debates, problem-solving
tasks, and analytical writing. The findings suggest that critical thinking-based
instruction significantly improves students’ engagement, autonomy, and overall
language proficiency.
