Abstract

In order to cultivate analytical thinking, empathy, and creativity among students, it is vital for teachers of literature to teach pupils how to develop critical thinking abilities. English Language Teaching (ELT) tactics play a crucial role in strengthening these abilities by connecting students with the varied characteristics of literary texts. This is accomplished through the classroom setting. Within the context of the literature classroom, this study investigates a variety of English Language Teaching (ELT) tactics that are utilised to cultivate critical abilities. These strategies include collaborative learning, Socratic questioning, role-playing, and project-based work. The goal of these tactics is to make literature more approachable and interesting for students by incorporating contemporary teaching tools such as multimedia, digital storytelling, and interactive platforms. In addition, the research emphasises the significance of contextualised instruction, which takes into account the differences in students' cultural backgrounds and language backgrounds. The findings demonstrate that a balanced combination of traditional and innovative approaches to English Language Teaching (ELT) not only increases students' language competency but also provides them with the critical thinking abilities essential for reading complicated narratives and respecting varied views. In the end, these tactics provide students the ability to develop their own autonomous thought processes and become readers for life.
