at the C1 level, language learners possess advanced linguistic skills but often need to move beyond rote memorization to achieve true communicative competence. This article explores how critical thinking enhances advanced language learning by fostering deeper comprehension, nuanced expression, and cultural adaptability among C1-level students. Using a mixed-methods study with 40 C1-level EFL learners, we investigated the impact of critical thinking activities (e.g., debates, problem-solving tasks) on linguistic accuracy, discourse competence, and learner autonomy. Results showed significant improvements in analytical writing (18.5%), oral argumentation (20.2%), and self-directed learning behaviors. Qualitative data revealed heightened engagement and confidence. This article synthesizes research on critical thinking and language acquisition, offering practical strategies for teachers to integrate these skills into advanced language classrooms.

The insights of prominent scholars such as John Dewey, Benjamin Bloom, Richard Paul, Linda Elder, and Lev Vygotsky are discussed to frame the theoretical foundation of these strategies. The article concludes that careful selection of materials is crucial for developing students' critical thinking skills, thereby enhancing their overall academic and personal growth.

Critical Thinking is a rating system that is used to analyze things and events with the formulation of reasonable conclusions and allows learner to make informed judgments, interpretations, and correctly apply results to situations and problems. The article analyzes the techniques and methods of using the technology for the development of critical thinking through reading and writing. When using this technology in the classroom, the learner can use such techniques as a cluster, a basket of ideas, an insert which can be often used as reflection.

Promoting of critical thinking of students involves asking students questions and understanding of the problem that needs to be solved. Critical thinking is social in nature, since every thought is tested and honed when it is shared with others. This technique increases the involvement of students in the implementation of group decisions. Critical thinking is individual and independent, each generates its own ideas, formulates its own assessments and beliefs independently of the others, finds its own solution to the problem and supports it with convincing reason.

Enriched with international research, the work brings together the theoretical and practical aspects of educational philosophy and offers recommendations for fostering deeper and broader thinking in the younger generation.

Статья посвящена важности билингвизма в изучение иностранного языка. Билингвизм оказывает значительное влияние на развитие познавательных навыков и способностей детей. Кроме того, упоминается, что билингвизм помогает человеку повысить свое критическое и творческое мышление, что поможет помочь выучить язык эффективно и легко. Приведены некоторые примеры того, как билингвизм может оказать положительное влияние на улучшение языка и образование детей. Двуязычие играет важную роль в улучшении когнитивного развития детей. Исследования показывают, что дети, с раннего возраста подвергающиеся воздействию двух или более языков, развивают более высокие когнитивные способности по сравнению с монолингвальными сверстниками. Двуязычные дети часто демонстрируют улучшенные исполнительные функции, такие как решение проблем, контроль внимания и переключение задач. Процесс переключения между языками укрепляет когнитивную гибкость мозга, улучшая память и навыки многозадачности. Кроме того, двуязычие способствует развитию метаязыкового сознания, что помогает детям глубже понять структуру языка. Эта способность думать на нескольких языках не только способствует лучшей учебной успеваемости, но и помогает детям развивать более сильные социальные навыки. Несмотря на трудности, с которыми могут столкнуться двуязычные дети в процессе освоения языков, долгосрочные когнитивные преимущества перевешивают начальные сложности, что делает двуязычие ценным активом для их когнитивного и академического роста

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into education has transformed learning methodologies, particularly in Problem-Based Learning (PBL). This paper explores the impact of AI-assisted PBL on students’ critical thinking development, analyzing both its benefits and potential drawbacks. While AI-driven learning environments provide personalized feedback, enhance engagement, and support deeper problem-solving skills, concerns remain regarding students’ overreliance on AI-generated responses. The discussion highlights the necessity of a balanced approach where AI serves as a cognitive partner rather than an automation tool. The study emphasizes that AI should be designed to challenge students’ reasoning, prompt inquiry, and encourage intellectual growth, rather than replace human thought processes. Ultimately, the effectiveness of AI in fostering critical thinking depends on its pedagogical integration, ensuring that technology enhances independent learning rather than diminishing it.
