Abstract

This study aims to investigate how third-year English majors, perceived the application of the Six Thinking Hats model (Bono, 1992) in their 10-week presentation skills class at a non-public university in Vietnam. This action research aims to determine if the students’ critical thinking could be improved while class objectives are achieved. A questionnaire survey with 29 students and a group discussion were used as the main data collection instruments to gain insight into the effectiveness of this action research. The findings include the perceived improvement of the observed 21st-century skills among students and confidence in presentation. Implications and recommendations for further studies are provided accordingly. 

Keywords: Six Thinking Hats, critical thinking skills, presentation skills, English majors.
