Abstract Khalil, Ghazi Abdulaziz, (2023). The Effect of Inquiry-Based Learning Strategy on Jordanian EFL Tenth-Grade Students' Critical Reading Skills and their Attitudes towards it. Supervisor: Prof. Dina Abdulhameed Al-Jamal. This study investigated the effect of inquiry-based learning (IBL) on the critical reading skills of Jordanian tenth-grade EFL students and their attitudes towards it were also investigated. Participants in the study were 60 male students from Al-Taibah Comprehensive School for Boys at Al-Taibah and Al-Wistyah Directorate of Education in Irbid. The experimental and control groups were each assigned an equal number of students at random. The researcher designed an IBL strategy instructional program, a pre-/post critical reading test, and an attitudinal questionnaire in order to achieve the purpose of the study. The treatment lasted eight weeks during the first semester of the academic year 2022–23. Statistically significant differences (α = 0.05) were found between the pre-test and post-test mean scores attributable to IBL strategy use. The results also demonstrated that the participants' critical reading skills improved as a result of their participation in the program's reading activities. In addition, the study revealed that IBL strategy had a positive effect on students' attitudes towards employing the strategy under investigation. The participants described the instructional program as advantageous, engaging, and efficient. The current study recommended implementing the IBL strategy to improve students' critical reading skills. Keywords: Attitudes; Critical Reading Skills; EFL Learners; Inquiry-Based Learning Strategy.

Characterization and development of criticallythinker EFL readers' reading ability: AWC vs. QAR approaches

2022

Abstract: Characterizing a critically-thinker second language learner as well as the way such characteristics can be developed and implemented in instructed second language have received momentum in applied linguistics. As a novel practice, this mixed-methods study was designed to feature a critically-thinker reader in developing both her critical thinking and reading abilities in the light of two novel instructional mechanisms (i.e., Asynchronous Web-based Collaborative (AWC) vs. Question-Answer-Relationship (QAR) instructional approaches). To this end, a sample of 89 Iranian EFL learners (Pilot group) were interviewed based on which first the features of a critically-thinker reader were extracted, analyzed and modeled via MaxQDA. Then, three groups of 154 language learners (i.e., Control, QAR & AWC) were exposed to its specific type of instruction. In addition to the extraction of “argumentation”, “judgment”, “dispositions”, “action”, “social cognition”, and “creativity” each with its sub-categories as the sub-traits of critically-thinker’s conceptual model, ANOVAs were run to analyze the quantitative data. It was observed that AWC group outperformed others both in critical reading and critical thinking features. So, it is theoretically and pedagogically implied that the developments of both cognitive traits (i.e. critical thinking) and the resultant language skills (i.e. reading skill) are subject to appropriate instructional approach/s.
