CRITICAL THINKING IN LANGUAGE EDUCATION.
Abstract
The English language today serves as a means of communication between people and nations of the universe. The importance of learning and teaching English gave priority to the learning of it. Every teacher must have heard at some point throughout their teaching careers the term “critical thinking”. This concept seems to be present daily in educational speeches, articles and syllabuses. Moreover, there seems to be a general agreement on the “correctness” of such a term and its usage.
