Recent approaches in education aim at cognitive processes, defined in terms of learner autonomy principles. Learners should be taught how to think rather than what to think. Judging, reasoning, problem solving, decision making are vital for successful academic and social lives (Collier, et al., 2002:7). Critical thinking is the ability to judge an idea/claim based on reliable evidence by determining one's own criteria (Beyer, 1995). Especially, in a rote-memorization based educational system as in Turkey, learners need to be taught to express their own thoughts and to judge the ideas before making a decision and solving the problems. In this paper, some classroom applications to improve critical reading in ELT will be presented.
