The purpose of this article is to illustrate possible ways of developing critical thinking in ESL classes. We try to state that one step of doing this is to change teacher’s attitude towards students. Critical thinking means making reasoned judgments. Basically, it is using criteria to judge the quality of something. In essence, critical thinking is a disciplined manner of thought that a person uses to assess the validity of something: a statement, news story, argument, research, etc.
