Teaching of critical reading skills in ESL and ELF context: a proposal for action researchers
Asghar, Jabreel1, Al-Bargi, Abdullah2.
How can we teach critical thinking skills to ESL/EFL learners?‟ This paper answers this specific question with a proposed model of critical reading. The paper presents sample materials designed following Wallace‟s (2003) three dimensional model of critical reading with linguistic, conceptual and cultural foci. The paper informs material developers and action researchers on how Wallace‟s three dimensional approach to reading texts may enable readers to develop broader perspectives on various issues, and give critical insight into the texts. The sample material also demonstrates how Wallace‟s three-dimensional approach to reading may help learners become critique of the outer world and allow them decode the texts in the light of their own schematic knowledge.
