critical thinking in L۲ class

English as a foreign language (EFL) context is the one in which studies about critical thinking and its link to classroom engagement have not been carried out as much as expected. Hence, this study was investigated to understand the relationship between English language teachers' critical thinking ability and students' participation in the classroom in order to obtain the effect of critical thinking on second language learning. The results showed that from a pedagogical point of view, the decisions made by students, the solutions offered to deal with a learning problem, and the way in which their learning process is improved are all affected. When teachers think critically and try to see different skills from a different perspective, this is where students' curiosity is tickled and their imaginations are stretched to think about things in different ways
