Teaching Grammar to Promote Critical Thinking in EFL Classrooms
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
This study attempted to sketch critical thinking as an applicable concept in foreign language education. The researcher employed a number of critical thinking techniques in an academic Basic Grammar TEFL course of 25 students at Amman Arab University, during the first semester of 2016/2017. Interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation were the critical thinking skills adopted through group work, consisting of real life situations, watching silent movies, songs, T.V programs, presentations, planning for the future, interviews, role-playing and problem solving procedures. A debate session was used for the evaluation of both language and critical thinking skills.
