The critical thinking ability is an indispensable ability of contemporary college students, and the PBL teaching mode abandons the shortcomings of traditional teaching methods, which is more suitable for the development trend of university curriculum teaching reform in China. In order to understand the influence of PBL teaching mode on college students’ critical thinking ability, the research is carried out into English critical thinking dispositions and skills of the second grade English education majors in Jiangxi Province, via questionnaire, interview, English test and PBL teaching experiment. And the results indicate that the PBL teaching model can improve the three English critical thinking temperament level of analysis, open and fair, and it can significantly improve the two English critical thinking skills of analysis and interpretation, but did not improve the English scores of the students significantly. The purpose of this study is to enrich the research on the influence of PBL teaching model and English critical thinking ability, and so as to provide some reference for improving the quality of English teaching in colleges and universities.

This study attempts to explore the effectiveness of task-based cooperative writing instruction on critical thinking and English writing development. To address the issues, an experiment is carried out between two university classes, who received task-based cooperative writing and traditional non-source based writing respectively. Based on the analysis, the major findings are obtained as follows. Firstly, task-based cooperative writing could effectively cultivate college students’ critical thinking abilities in general and students’ critical thinking affective disposition and cognitive skill to a significant degree in particular; Secondly, as for the 7 critical thinking sub-dispositions, the analyticity is improved to a significant level while CT-confidence, inquisitiveness, truth-seeking, maturity, open-mindedness and systematicity are not significantly enhanced. And as for the 6 critical thinking sub-skills, interpretation, explanation, inference, and analysis are all developed to a significant extent while self-regulation failed to reach the significant level; Finally, students’ writing proficiency is also promoted. College students’ critical thinking ability is positively and significantly correlated with their writing proficiency. Among the critical thinking sub-dispositions, there exists a positive correlation between students’ writing quality and truth-seeking as well as maturity. And the correlations between the writing quality and all the critical thinking sub-skills are positive and significant.

AbstractThis study explores linguistic features, ideological beliefs, and critical thinking in news comments, which are defined as the comments from readers to news posts on social media or platforms. Within the overarching framework of critical discourse analysis, a sociocognitive approach was adopted to provide detailed analyses of the studied constructs in sampled news comments. In terms of the data collection and analysis, sampled social media, news columns, and news comments were selected, and then 19 college students were interviewed for their responses to different news topics. The primary findings of the study include: (1) personal and social opinions are representations of ideological beliefs and are fully presented through news comments, (2) these personal and social ideological beliefs may diverge or converge due to critical thinking, (3) critical thinking helps commenters form their personal and social ideologies, and then helps them choose the linguistic forms they believe fit their news comments, (4) news topics, however, vary in informing commenters’ critical thinking ability. Finally, a sociocognitive model for studying linguistic forms, ideologies, and critical thinking was proposed in the study.
