Abstract
In the reading comprehension process, students face many difficulties and obstacles that affect their reading performance. They experience barriers in differentiating main ideas and supporting details, connecting topics and background knowledge in the text, and summarizing the contents of the reading. Therefore, it is essential to investigate whether there is a relationship between students’ critical thinking ability and their reading comprehension performance. This study used a correlational quantitative research design. All 11th-grade students at SMAN 1 Jiwan were involved as the population, with a total of sample of 25 students collected using a sampling technique, namely cluster random sampling. To measure the ability of both variables, the critical thinking instrument used was the critical thinking questionnaire by Jie et al., while the reading comprehension instrument was a collection of validated questions that are arranged based on learning objectives in the classroom. The results of the study shows that the relationship between critical thinking and reading comprehension was not statistically significant (sig. 0.184), although there was a tendency for a weak positive correlation (r = 0.274). The absence of this relationship is presumed to be related to the imbalance between critical thinking and reading comprehension skills, limited language and basic linguistic skills, and a lack of practice in applying critical thinking in reading. Therefore, the application of critical thinking in reading comprehension activities and the development of students' language skills is needed in EFL learning.
