A Survey of English Majors’ Attitudes towards Critical Thinking

Based on the discussion of critical thinking and related studies, this study conducted a survey of 104 senior English majors in a university by using a questionnaire and applied Excel to analyze the data, and explored English majors' attitudes toward critical thinking. The study found that most English majors do not have a clear concept of critical thinking, but they acknowledge the importance of critical thinking in learning and hold high expectations to be trained in critical thinking. The study indicated that English major students' attitudes need to be taken into due consideration in the development of critical thinking.
