DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING THROUGH READING AND WRITING TASKS
Keywords:
Critical Thinking, Reading Strategies, Writing Skills, Analytical Thinking, Higher-Order Thinking, Cognitive Development.Abstract
Critical thinking is the ability to analyze, evaluate, and draw reasoned conclusions from information. It plays a vital role in both education and everyday life. Reading and writing tasks provide effective ways to develop this skill, as they require learners not only to understand texts but also to analyze, interpret, and form their own opinions. Through structured reading and writing activities, students can enhance their logical reasoning, argumentation, and problem-solving abilities, making them more independent and reflective thinkers.
