Critical thinking (CT) skills are essential for students in the 21st century. As CT
skills are implemented through reading activities, textbooks used in schools
should support the CT development of students. This study aims at describing
what critical thinking attitudes are built on EFL reading instruction in English
textbook. We employed qualitative descriptive research designed and used
thematic analysis framework to explore how Empower book builds CT
instructions through reading activities throughout in the reading units. The data
were gathered from the 3 reading units of the book. The book was published by
Cambridge University Press & Assessment. The results showed that the EFL
reading instructions in the book are built into four levels of critical thinking;
namely problem solving, decision making, diagnostic reasoning, and the scientific
method. The instructions utilize application, analysis, evaluation, and creation
skills, which demonstrate how to empower students' higher order thinking skills
(HOTS). Moreover, the instructions achieve enhanced control of active learning
with effective classroom discussions using various activities. As thus, this study
recommends to the call for the development of critical thinking skills over
subjects, which are highly needed in the 21st century, especially in the context of
the school learning in Indonesia.
