Abstract

In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education, fostering critical thinking (CT) is a key goal, yet assessing it poses difficulties. Traditional assessment methods often emphasize language accuracy over reasoning, which limits their capacity to assess higher-order thinking skills. This review investigates the use of technology-based tools for assessing CT among EFL learners, synthesizing findings from international and Algerian studies to question whether digital platforms offer more valid and practical alternatives to traditional assessments
