Abstract—This research explores the integration of critical thinking into English writing teaching to elevate the standard of students’ compositions. It assesses a range of pedagogical approaches, including a novel “corpus” task, on their efficacy in enhancing the logical structuring of arguments and the robustness of evidence provided by students. Results demonstrate a substantial boost in students’ abilities to select pertinent information, critically evaluate, and construct coherent arguments, thereby improving their writing skills. The paper presents actionable strategies for embedding critical thinking in English writing instruction, advocating for innovative teaching methodologies.
