Inculcating Critical Thinking Skills in Language Teaching among the Students of Engineering

Abstract

In order to assist students, succeed in the corporate world of the twenty-first century, certain effective critical thinking skills (CTS) tactics must be used in the classroom. These strategies should be based on the current engineering design process (EDP) to explore students' CTS. A case study in which students were assigned to an EDP English class was done for the approach. Data was examined at each EDP stage using CTS criteria codes. The results showed that at each EDP step, students have satisfied specific CTS requirements. The pupils received the most important instruction in phonetics, voice, and accent. It was discovered that a special emphasis on recently established methodologies, such as task-based language acquisition and cooperative learning, should be included in order to enable the students thrive in group discussions. The research's findings have thus provided conclusive evidence that the effectiveness of the students' participation in EDP is required for the study of CTS.
