This article examines the role of listening, speaking, reading, and writing activities in developing students’ critical thinking abilities. The study emphasizes that integrated language instruction creates effective opportunities for learners to analyze information, express opinions, evaluate different perspectives, and make independent decisions. The article highlights the importance of communicative activities, authentic materials, interactive methods, and teacher guidance in creating a learning environment that supports both language development and critical thinking.References
