IMPLEMENTING CRITICAL THINKING TECHNOLOGIES IN DOCTORAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING PRACTICE

This thesis examines the implementation of Critical Thinking technologies in English language teaching practice, with particular emphasis on enhancing the speaking competence of students enrolled in non-philological educational programs. It explores practical ways of integrating critical thinking strategies into classroom activities to encourage students' active participation, independent reasoning, and effective oral communication. Particular attention is given to the application of interactive methods such as Brainstorming, Think–Pair–Share, Debate, Case Study, and Problem-Based Learning. The study also identifies pedagogical conditions necessary for the successful implementation of these technologies, including the selection of appropriate learning materials, the organization of collaborative activities, and the creation of a supportive communicative environment. The integration of Critical Thinking technologies into English language teaching practice can contribute to improving students' speaking skills and developing their ability to communicate confidently in academic and professional contexts.
