| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Cultivating critical reading skills in learners has become very crucial for success in higher education. Despite this, the majority of students at university level prioritize the decoding of written symbols over the active analysis of the implied meaning. Reading without being critical has turned EFL learners into passive receivers of knowledge. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the critical readers' kit by determining what implements a critical reader should possess to achieve fulfillment. It also investigates the necessary reading strategies students can develop, and the teacher’s role in developing students’ critical reading abilities during reading sessions. To answer the research questions, a case study was undertaken at Mohamed Boudiaf University of M'sila, adopting students' questionnaire and EFL teachers' questionnaire as a data collection instruments. The finding showed that both EFL learners and their teachers have not yet discovered the critical reader's toolkit since they are not virtually familiar with the necessary implements and strategies that need to be adopted in order to transform passive readers into active critical readers. However, fostering critical readers is not an easy task as there are some potential obstacles and challenges that a reader might encounter. Consequently, some recommendations were presented to enable EFL learners to overcome these obstacles, and to direct teachers' focus toward the enhancement of critical thinking skills and critical reading strategies. Thus, this will not only prepare EFL learners to be better critical readers at universities ,but we also hope we could produce successful individuals who could survive in the real world | en_US |
