This research aims to determine the ability of journal entries and assigned writing to foster students? critical thinking. A total of six components, namely, interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation were used to carry out this study. Data were obtained from a total of twelve (12) students majoring in English Education from one of the universities in Jakarta by using semi-structured interview and text-analysis. Journal entries submitted by the students as a course prerequisite were evaluated and analyzed by two raters.
