Enhancing Critical Thinking Skills with ChatGPT-Powered Activities in Chinese Language Classrooms

This action research study evaluates how ChatGPT-powered activities impact critical thinking skill application (mapped to Bloom's taxonomy) across three Chinese language classrooms (introductory L2, intermediate L2, and native speaker academic writing). The study examines which CT skills learners employ when interacting with ChatGPT and how task types relate to CT skill application.
