Therefore, a mixed-methods approach was utilized through an online questionnaire sent to twenty-seven (27) EFL learners from the Department of Literature and Civilization at Belhadje Bouchaib University. In addition, an online interview was administered to three (03) EFL teachers from the same department. The results indicate a positive correlation between the use of certain reading strategies and the development of critical thinking skills. Participants who reported having employed those strategies frequently demonstrated higher levels of analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.enanalytical abilities,critical thinking,reading strategiesالتفكير النقدي،استراتجيات القراءة،القدرات التحليليةla pensé critique,stratégies de lecture,capacités analytiqueThesis
