ABSTRACT

As an important content and way of English learning, English reading is an important way to cultivate students’ critical thinking ability in college. Developing critical English reading teaching, creating a good classroom atmosphere and educational environment, changing traditional reading concepts and forming a teaching culture of “critical thinking reading” are the basic prerequisites for cultivating critical thinking ability. This paper attempts to find out the common characteristics of critical thinking ability and college English reading ability, so as to find out whether there is a correlation between critical thinking ability and English reading ability of college students and whether their critical thinking ability has an impact on their English reading ability.
