Teaching History To Promote Critical Thinking Skills In Efl Students

Authors : Kaabeche El Ghalia .

Abstract

History is not a mere collection of dates, names, and events about the past. It is not just knowing and memorizing these historical dates, names, and events. The scope and nature of History go well beyond all of this. In fact, History plays a significant role in shaping the students’ understanding of the world around as it can provide them with insights into the past and reflections about the present and future. This way, the teaching of History can promote critical thinking skills in students. The present paper is an attempt to shed light on the importance of teaching History in order to enhance and promote critical thinking skills in our EFL students.
