The population of this study was the fifth semester students of English Department of Wijaya Kusuma Surabaya University. The samples were selected using convenient sampling. The data used in this study were the students' test scores. They were obtained from 55 samples. A test consisting of two parts-generating critical questions and answering the given questions-was used as the research instrument. This study finds that the students' critical thinking skill was poor. They performed poor critical thinking ability both in generating questions and answering questions.
