Abstract

ABSTRACT This research is conducted to evaluate whether or not teaching students of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) higher order thinking skills (HOTS) through the utilization of brief functional texts is helpful. Students need to be able to think critically, solve problems, analyze information, and be creative in order to survive in the globalized world of the 21st century. HOTs include all of these vital abilities. Traditional methods of teaching English as a foreign language, on the other hand, frequently place an emphasis on rote memorization and low-level cognitive activities, while ignoring the development of HOTs. The research utilizes qualitative methodology for the acquisition of data. The solution involves integrating into the lesson plan a variety of brief functional texts, such as adverts, menus, and directions, among other examples. These texts have been thoughtfully chosen to encourage children to engage in language usage that is both meaningful and genuine. Observations made in the classroom, interviews with students and instructors, and reflective diaries written by students all contribute to the compilation of qualitative data. These statistics give insights into how students perceived the intervention, how engaged they were in the learning process, and how effective the intervention was in generating HOTs. The results of this study provide a contribution to the current body of research on EFL education by highlighting the need of using short functional texts to encourage HOTs among EFL students. The findings offer insight on the influence that the intervention had on the development of the students' HOTs. The research intends to give practical implications for educators of English as a foreign language (EFL), curriculum designers, and policymakers by highlighting the significance of include real and meaningful texts in instruction in order to improve students' higher-order thinking abilities.
