DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING THROUGH WORKING WITH AI-GENERATED ENGLISH MEDIA TEXTS

Abstract

This study explores the development of 11th grade students’ critical thinking skills through engagement with AI-generated English media texts. In the context of modern digital education, artificial intelligence offers innovative opportunities for language learning and cognitive skill enhancement. By analyzing, interpreting, and evaluating AI-generated content, students not only improve their language proficiency but also strengthen their ability to think critically, assess information reliability, and express informed opinions. The research highlights practical strategies for integrating AI media texts into English lessons, demonstrating how technology can foster analytical, reflective, and evaluative thinking among secondary school learners. The findings suggest that using AI-generated materials promotes active learning, encourages independent thinking, and prepares students for the demands of the information-rich digital era.
