Cultivation of Critical Thinking Skills in the Course of Readings from British and American Press

摘要

The cultivation of critical thinking ability has become the central issue of higher education reform. It is an indispensable part of college education that college students are expected to pursue and achieve in their college years. The course of Readings from British and American Press can serve as a vital approach to help learners to construct meaning and cultivate their critical thinking ability. This paper tries to explore the teaching strategies from three stages—pre-class, in-class and post-class to develop students’ critical thinking ability.
