Abstract: This study describes the way teacher fosters critical thinking in the
classroom when teaching argumentative essay at Senior High School level. It aims to
understand and describe the way teacher fosters critical thinking in the classroom
when teaching argumentative genre at the Senior High School level. A qualitative
case study was employed as a research design in this study. The data were collected
through several instruments namely observation and interview which were then
analysed using the theory of critical thinking approach by Ennis (1992 as in Emilia,
2005), teaching stages suggested by Emilia (2005) and the critical thinking cues
instruction suggested by Paul & Elder (2007) and Bloom (1956). The result of the
study revealed that approach used by the teacher to foster critical thinking in students
is infusion approach. Furthermore, the teacher only provides three of four teaching
stages suggested by Emilia (2005). The teacher had infused critical thinking in the
classroom mainly through question-answer process or from her instruction when
teaching argumentative essay. The teacher only provide three categories of Paul &
Elder’s (2007) critical instruction and four categories of Bloom’s (1956) critical cues.
