This study delves into the correlation between critical thinking and input ability skills within the framework of debate. While debate often highlights spontaneous and responsive skills, the overlooked essential is the input ability, encompassing tasks like confirming information, summarizing, and catching details. These skills precede output ability and are crucial in effective debating. Drawing from sources spanning the past decade, this qualitative research employs the narrative inquiry method to explore the role of critical thinking in language input ability. Data collection involves questionnaires targeting students with debate experience, focusing on the impact of input and output skills on their debating. Utilizing interviews, the research reveals that a balance between input and output abilities is vital for successful debate performance. The result is participants have different points of view in choosing whether input or output which affects their critical thinking mostly, the strategies they used, the importance of output and input abilities, and emotional intelligence, it shows the need for strategies to enhance input abilities alongside output skills to gain maximum potential in debate. Future research aims to develop methods for fostering balanced improvement in input abilities, shifting from a sole focus on output proficiency.

Abstract

This study investigates the extent to which Problem-Based Learning (PBL) can enhance students’ critical writing skills in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. Eleven undergraduate students participated in the study and produced a critical writing assignment that served as the primary data source. Using a descriptive qualitative design, the analysis focused on examining how students formulated research problems, constructed thesis statements, and developed arguments, counter-arguments, evidence, and interpretations within their essays. Manual coding was applied to identify recurring patterns of critical thinking indicators, followed by content analysis to interpret the depth and coherence of students’ written responses. The findings reveal that PBL provides a meaningful scaffold for strengthening higher-order thinking and guiding students to move beyond descriptive writing. Most students demonstrated improvement in identifying issues, articulating them as topic sentences, and developing logically connected discussions supported by reasoning and data. Although variations in writing quality were evident, the overall results indicate that PBL fosters critical engagement, enhances argumentative organisation, and supports learners’ development of analytical perspectives in writing. These findings suggest that PBL is a promising pedagogical approach for cultivating students’ critical writing competence and call for further research on integrating PBL-based critical thinking instruction in EFL writing classrooms.
