Abstract

This paper studies the analytical reading model aimed at enhancing critical thinking in English Reading class. The study introduces an approach that teachers can take, and uses a text from Extensive Reading 4 as an example to illustrate how to read the text analytically by employing Richard Paul’s template “Analyzing the logic of an Article, Essay, or Chapter”. And the teaching strategy is evaluated for quality by using Professor Wen Qiufang’s “conceptual framework for assessing critical thinking skills”. The results indicate that analytical reading has a significant influence on improving the learners’ critical thinking.
