| 总结: | <p>Promoting students critical thinking (CT) is an increasing concern in China. This study</p><p>investigated the effects of graphic organizers (GOs) on 60 Chinese senior high school</p><p>students CT skills (analyzing and generalizing) in EFL reading classes. This study</p><p>adopted mixed-methods research design. It collected data using a quasi-experimental</p><p>approach and an interview. The findings of this study showed positive impacts of GOs</p><p>on students CT skills. After the intervention, the experimental groups results improved</p><p>significantly. There was also a significant difference in the reading performance test</p><p>scores between the control and experimental group in the post-test. The findings</p><p>showed that GOs can effectively improve the analytical and generalization skills of</p><p>Chinese high school English reading class students. The students in the experimental</p><p>group reported that the instructions received made them more aware of CT skills and</p><p>they also learned how to apply GOs in the real reading contexts. The implication of this</p><p>study is teachers may consider GOs as alternative teaching tools to improve CT skills</p><p>in English Language reading classes.</p> |
