Developing Critical Thinking In Algerian Classrooms Through Online Debate Platforms



Auteurs : Rabahi Hanane . Makhlouf Abdelkader .

Résumé

Within EFL classrooms across Algeria, developing critical thinking remains a significant challenge due to the traditional methods of teaching and the minimal use of digital technology. The paper explores the pedagogical potential of online debate platforms in provoking critical thinking capacity among Algerian EFL learners. Drawing on Ennis's model of critical thinking, the research offers a qualitative, interpretive analysis of existing research, and synthesizes evidence from the relevant literature. The research identifies the major cognitive skills, such as analysis, evaluation, and argumentation that are supported by digital debates. It also makes practical recommendations for implementation and outlines the infrastructural and pedagogical challenges to be addressed. The findings contribute to ongoing discussions in digital pedagogy and emphasize the need for new, learner-centered approaches to language instruction.
