This document contains the required theoretical support to develop a project whose objective is to know the effects of applying task based learning (TBL) workshops to scaffold critical thinking in IV levels of English at Universidad Santo Tomás, Tunja. Critical thinking is a concept that has been developed through several years and which entails important skills to be developed. It is associated with reasoning, interpreting, analyzing, and evaluating information or situations to give true or possible assertions regarding a specific topic. Hence, this construct is proposed in order to develop critical thinking under the parameters of the TBL approach as a way to motivate collaborative and independent work in students.

Keywords : critical thinking; task based learning; collaborative work.
