Abstract
The cultivation of critical thinking ability is the fundamental task of higher education and an indispensable part of University learning. In order to achieve a complete foreign language education and adapt to the increasingly complex international exchange environment, the reform of College English in China must be centered on the cultivation of critical thinking ability. The cultivation of critical thinking ability in College English classroom has two goals, namely, to promote the development of students' language skills and the combination of the three main contents of College English. Based on the theoretical models of Moore and Alnofaie [1], this paper establishes a framework for the cultivation of critical thinking ability in College English classes, and proposes that the task of cultivating critical thinking ability in College English must be in line with the task of cultivating critical thinking ability in the whole university and the college English curriculum system.
