Abstract

Critical thinking disposition is the habitual intrinsic motivation of people and the drive for learning critical thinking knowledge and skills. The present study explores the relationship between students’ CTD and EFL argumentative writing. To this end, 140 students who majored in the English major in a tertiary university of science and technology were selected and given the test of CTD and EFL argumentative writing test. The writing test was then reviewed by the automated essay scoring system iWrite. The results show that the English majors possess a strong positive CTD and there is no relation between students’ CTD and EFL argumentative writing performance.
