Abstract: Abstract Our work discusses Critical Thinking and proves that its modeling and application in a linguistic university course play a great role in the effective teaching of Business English to students. In this paper, we try to focus on a complex concept of Critical Thinking, discuss a proposed Critical Thinking development model to teach language courses, and provide a description of components of the model and methodology we use to develop critical thinking and linguistic competences of a learner. Authors organized pilot testing of the methodology on the groups of students to reveal the effects of the proposed model in the teaching of a Business English course and found out that the higher the level of critical thinking, the more effective results and acquisition of the foreign language for special purposes we have.
