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

This action research study evaluates the impact of ChatGPT-powered activities on critical thinking skills (using Bloom's taxonomy) across three university-level Chinese language classrooms (introductory L2, intermediate L2, and native speaker academic writing). The research examines which CT skills students apply when interacting with ChatGPT and how different task types influence CT skill application.
