AbstrakTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pemanfaatan pembelajaran berbasis kelas konferensi untuk mendorong pemikiran tingkat tinggi mahasiswa, terutama di kelas Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing (EFL). Penelitian ini dilakukan karena sebagian besar mahasiswa tidak suka banyak berpikir ketika dosen memerintahkan suatu diskusi di dalam kelas.

Untuk mengatasi kendala tersebut, peneliti mengusulkan suatu metode yang dapat meningkatkan berpikir tingkat tinggi mahasiswa melalui pembelajaran berbasis conference class.Kata Kunci: Konferensi Berbasis Kelas, Mahasiswa Universitas, Berpikir Kritis.Abstract The objective of this study is to investigate the utilizing of conference class based learning to encourage university students’ high order thinking, especially in English as Foreign Language (EFL) classroom.
