Critical thinking can be considered as an essential substance contributing to the success of pre-service English teachers learning English. Some skills in English such as listening, speaking, reading and writing can be successfully achieved whenever they are critical, since critical thinking is also the ability allowing the students to express everything freely. Unfortunately, utilizing critical thinking is not as simple as seen. Therefore, project-based learning was utilized to accommodate the use of the pre-service English teachers’ critical thinking and how their critical thinking is raised. By conducting descriptive qualitative design, this research aims to elaborate the utilizing project based learning to raise pre-service English teachers’ critical thinking. The research was conducted in TEYL Media class for the sixth semester consisting of 35 pre-service English teachers. They were divided into some groups, each consisting of 3-4 people assigned to make a project within 6-12 weeks, in the forms of producing teaching media for TEYL. Each group had to present regularly the concept of teaching media in front of the class to get some suggestions, feedback, or comments. When they got approval from the lecturer, they could start making the media and then, tried out the media in front of the class again. Thus, by utilizing project-based learning, the students’ critical thinking can be raised effectively. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
