Abstract
It is the direction and ultimate goal of university education to cultivate compound talents with critical thinking consciousness and critical thinking ability. However, most colleges and universities in China still fail to cultivate students' critical thinking ability in English teaching. Critical thinking is of great significance to the comprehensive development of college students, and enhancing the critical thinking ability of college students is the mission and responsibility of college English reading teaching. Classroom teaching is the main battleground for cultivating students' abilities, and in view of the current situation of insufficient critical thinking ability among college students. This paper starts from the connotation and importance of critical thinking ability, sorts out and summarizes the relevant causal factors, expounds the principles of cultivating students' critical thinking ability based on expandable reading materials, and puts forward strategic suggestions on selecting expandable reading materials, with the aim of precision cultivation of students' critical thinking ability.
