Critical thinking(CT)has been listed as one of the core competencies for English majors.One way to develop English majors'CT is to infuse CT instruction into the intensive reading course.This paper reports on a three-year collaborative action research study that systematically cultivated students'CT skills and language skills simultaneously in an English intensive reading course.The study focused on three rounds:infusing CT instruction into intensive reading instruction,enhancing the explicitness of CT instruction,and adopting concept-based instruction with appropriate instructional scaffolding.The results indicate that these three rounds of action research were significantly effective,not only improving students'language abilities but also enhancing their CT skills.
