%T The Quest for Critical Thinking Framework in ELT
%U http://repository.uhamka.ac.id/id/eprint/597/
%X Even though some authors argue that critical  thinking (CT) is almost impossible to be taught to students  in non-Western countries since Western and non-Western  countries have different cultural background, several studies  on CT conducted in Asia, Africa and predominantly Muslim  countries have showed that it can be taught to non-Western  students. CT has actually been fashionable in non-Western  countries, and several non-Western countries have nowadays  included it in their educational agenda. In spite of CT’s  gaining popularity in non-Western countries, there is very  little information as regards what kind of CT which is  adopted in those non-Western countries’ education and  what CT framework which can work in their teachinglearning processes, especially in the field of ELT. This article  attempts to propose a critical thinking framework that can  be used in ELT as well as other school subjects. The  framework is the result of critically analyzing, examining and  synthesizing 20 critical thinking taxonomies, strategies,  programs and tests.
