The Use of Critical Thinking to Develop EFL Learners’ Writing Skills The Case of Master One Language Sciences Students at Larbi Tbessi University

Abstract

The work aims to investigate developing EFL learners‟ writing skill through the use of critical thinking. The current dissertation hypothesizes that the majority of Master One Language Sciences Students at Tebessa University are not aware enough how to use critical thinking skills in their writing and a large part of the chosen population have weaknesses in writing. In order to fulfill the study aim, two questionnaires are distributed to both academic writing and academic writing modules teachers, as well as to a sample of thirty students randomly selected from Master One Language Sciences Students at the department of English at Al-Arbi Tebessi University, Tebessa. The final result confirmed our hypothesis that the majority of students are agreeing on how the use of critical thinking motivates them to improve their writing abilities.
