The relevance of this study is determined by the growing role of critical thinking as a key educational outcome and universal competency of graduates, enshrined in the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education, as well as the need to find methodologically sound solutions for its development in foreign language education. In the context of foreign language teaching, critical thinking is particularly important, as language serves not only as a means of communication but also as a tool for developing critical thinking. The aim of this study is to describe and characterize the substantive and technological components of a model for teaching critical thinking to students studying English at a university. This theoretical and methodological study is based on the analysis and synthesis of domestic and international psychological, pedagogical, and methodological literature, a content analysis of scientific publications, and a logical-structural analysis. As a result of this study, a model for teaching critical thinking was developed. It includes substantive and technological components. The substantive component focuses on analytical work with lexical and grammatical material, problem-solving tasks on types of speech activity, and the sociocultural context. The technological component includes a set of methods, forms, tools, and teaching techniques aimed at developing critical thinking skills. The practical significance of this study is in the potential use of the proposed model in designing English language courses and teaching materials at universities.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Рассматривается проблема развития критического мышления студентов в процессе обучения английскому языку в условиях информационного перенасыщения и возрастания требований к качеству высшего образования. Актуальность исследования определяется возрастанием роли критического мышления как ключевого образовательного результата и универсальной компетенции выпускника, закрепленной в требованиях ФГОС ВО, а также необходимостью поиска методически выверенных решений его формирования в иноязычном обучении. В контексте обучения иностранному языку критическое мышление приобретает особую значимость, поскольку язык выступает не только средством коммуникации, но и инструментом развития критического мышления. Цель исследования заключается в описании и характеристике содержательного и технологического компонентов модели обучения критическому мышлению студентов при освоении дисциплины «Английский язык» в вузе. Исследование носит теоретико-методический характер и основывается на анализе и обобщении отечественной и зарубежной психолого-педагогической и методической литературы, контент-анализе научных публикаций и логико-структурном анализе. В результате исследования разработана модель обучения критическому мышлению, включающая содержательный и технологический компоненты. Содержательный компонент ориентирован на аналитическую работу с лексико-грамматическим материалом, проблемно-исследовательские задания по видам речевой деятельности и социокультурный контекст. Технологический компонент включает совокупность методов, форм, средств и приемов обучения, направленных на развитие навыков критического мышления. Практическая значимость исследования заключается в возможности использования предложенной модели при проектировании учебных курсов и методических материалов по английскому языку в вузе. </p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>critical thinking teaching</kwd><kwd>English language teaching</kwd><kwd>higher education</kwd><kwd>teaching model</kwd><kwd>teaching content</kwd><kwd>teaching technology</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>обучение критическому мышлению</kwd><kwd>обучение английскому языку</kwd><kwd>высшее образование</kwd><kwd>модель обучения</kwd><kwd>содержание обучения</kwd><kwd>технология обучения</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Mokhova O.L., Ovchinnikova N.D., Godina D.Kh. i dr.
