Development of Critical Thinking in Language Learning Through ICT

Abstract

This article examines how critical thinking skills can be cultivated in foreign language education by leveraging information and communication technologies. While most educators recognize the value of critical thinking in higher learning, its practical implementation in language classrooms remains unclear. The study highlights how digital tools can help students navigate today's rapidly changing world, where information overload and misinformation pose significant challenges. By integrating technology into language instruction, teachers can create opportunities for deeper analysis, independent reasoning, and collaborative problem-solving—key components of critical thought.
