The Effect of Critical Thinking Strategies on Postgraduate Students’ Performance in Reading and Writing

The point of this study was to look into what happens to EFL students' critical thinking when they read and write, as well as how training critical thinking skills affects those skills.To do this, 60 middle school students were put into two groups, one for the trial and one for the control.These groups were made equal using a Nelson test.After that, both groups took a reading comprehension test and a critical thinking assessment test.The same tests were given to both groups as a follow-up.For the reading comprehension test, there was a significant difference between the two groups .On the other hand, for the critical thinking test, there was no significant difference.However, the data show that teaching EFL students critical thinking can help them learn the language better.The study is important for people who plan courses, teach, and students, what they understand.In line with studies that show a link between being able to think critically and being able to speak a language well.
