Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential for language learners, enabling them to analyze, interpret, and engage with texts meaningfully. Literature offers a powerful tool for fostering these skills within the ESL (English as a Second Language) classroom, encouraging learners to explore multiple perspectives, develop interpretative skills, and engage in reflective thinking. This article examines how literary texts can be used to promote critical thinking among ESL learners, emphasizing strategies that educators can implement to integrate literature into language learning effectively. By analyzing and interpreting literary works, students not only improve language proficiency but also become more adept at examining underlying themes, cultural contexts, and character motivations.
