Abstract

This study aims at analyzing Unlock English Reading, Writing and Critical Thinking SkillsTextbooks (First and Second editions) in terms of the inclusion of the lower and the higherorder thinking skills. The current study is a descriptive content analysis paper that followed achecklist containing the cognitive levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy as well as a checklist of thepossible verbs by OPAR (2012) that combined the Revised Taxonomy as well. The finding inthis study indicated that majority of the cognitive objectives in the second edition belong toboth LOTS (Comprehension) and HOTS (Analysis and Synthesis) whereas the focus of thefirst edition was mainly on Comprehension and Analysis. Some objectives, also, wereparaphrased to reflect the cognitive objectives where they were more related to readingcomprehension sub-skills (skimming, scanning, previewing, etc.). Based on the findings, somerecommendations were listed.
