Critical Thinking Skills in an EFL Art Task at a Self-Access Learning Center

The purpose of this paper is to explore some ideas of implementing critical thinking skills in an EFL task using works of art as its content. First, the setting of where this task is currently used will be introduced. Then background information about critical thinking skills, thinking routines, and the importance of studying art will provide reasoning for the use of the task. Next, the method and detailed breakdown of the task itself will help build a deeper understanding. And finally, a small discussion section will focus on some additional thoughts and observations of using the art task in different classroom scenarios. It is my hope that this task can be beneficial in a variety of EFL learning in a variety of situations.
