Abstract

Since twenty years ago, scholars in foreign language teaching have pointed out that lack of critical thinking has hindered the cultivation of comprehensive abilities of English majors. Yet few previous researches focus on the application of critical thinking in actual teaching. The paper tries to explore the effectiveness of the teaching in the reading course by question-oriented and task-oriented measures in different stages to cultivate this capacity of critical thinking.
