Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the deconstructive critical inquiry levels among pre-service English language teachers. The research is descriptive in nature. Given that the aim was to assess the critical inquiry levels of English language teacher candidates, a quantitative research technique was employed. To this end, Anuar and Sidhu's (2017) The Critical Inquiry Scale was administered to 92 pre-service English language teachers whose ages varied between 18 and 23. A t-test was conducted to explore the gender differences while an ANOVA test was applied to assess the class-related variables. The study determined that there were no significant differences based on gender or class, and the inquiry levels of the pre-service English language teachers was quite high.
