Abstract
Context: The study, conducted in a rural school in Lampang, northern Thailand, targets Grade 12 Science, Mathematics, and English students. It addresses the integration of critical thinking skills with English presentations to develop critical presentation skills.
Aims: To enhance students' critical thinking abilities in English presentations, focusing on questioning, assertion, reasoning, evidence, and presentation skills.
Methods: Using the 'task-teach-task' approach, the study involved 43 students presenting on the medicinal benefits of perilla seeds, incorporating the QARED model to improve criticality in presentations.
Findings: Initially, students struggled to provide reasoning or evidence in their presentations. After implementing the QARED model, all students showed improvement in their ability to reason and provide evidence, enhancing their critical thinking presentation skills.
Implications: The QARED model can be effective in fostering critical thinking skills in English presentations.
