Abstract

Critical thinking plays an important role in life. The small one is to solve the daily trivial problems, and the large one is related to the development of the country’s economy, technological progress, and social progress. Therefore, in the field of foreign language research, more and more scholars are focusing on cultivating students’ critical thinking. The focus of this article is to analyze why it is so important to cultivate students’ critical thinking in foreign language teaching and why it is difficult to develop students’ critical thinking. Based on this, the author will analyze the problems existing in foreign language teaching today.
