Critical thinking, as the core part of creativity, has long been neglected in the process of higher education. The deficiency of critical thinking was typically reflected by the great trouble and difficulties in thesis writing of English-majored stude＇nts. According to studies abroad and the teaching practice of the author, the paper indicates that we can make full use of the teaching process in directing and supervising the argumentative or thesis writing to cultivate critical thinking of students. If we adopt proper teaching methods and modes, it may contribute a lot to the formation of critical thinking of students, and thus the ability to write argumentative or thesis and the quality of BA thesis can both be improved.
