abstract: Critical thinking (CT) skills are essential for students in the 21st century. As CT skills are implemented through reading activities, textbooks used in schools should support the CT development of students. This study aims at describing what critical thinking attitudes are built on EFL reading instruction in English textbook. We employed qualitative descriptive research designed and used thematic analysis framework to explore how Empower book builds CT instructions through reading activities throughout in the reading units. The data were gathered from the 3 reading units of the book. The book was published by Cambridge University Press & Assessment. The results showed that the EFL reading instructions in the book are built into four levels of critical thinking; namely problem solving, decision making, diagnostic reasoning, and the scientific method. The instructions utilize application, analysis, evaluation, and creation skills, which demonstrate how to empower students' higher order thinking skills (HOTS). Moreover, the instructions achieve enhanced control of active learning with effective classroom discussions using various activities. As thus, this study recommends to the call for the development of critical thinking skills over subjects, which are highly needed in the 21st century, especially in the context of the school learning in Indonesia.
