A MULTIDIMENSIONAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE ROLE OF EXTENSIVE READING IN DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS AMONG PHILOLOGY STUDENTS
Abstract
This article investigates the role of extensive reading for developing critical thinking skills among philology students. Critical thinking helps students not only to understand the content of texts better but also to form independent judgments, defend their views with sound arguments, and analyze different perspectives and contexts. The article includes survey and curriculum analysis, classroom observation and literature review. Critical reading, problem-based learning, and group work are also investigated to develop analytical abilities, cognitive flexibility, self-reflection, and constructive critique, since they all ultimately contribute to their professional development.
