The present study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of using a Generative Learning Model (GLM) on fostering 2nd year English Majors’ critical reading and writing skills at Faculty of Education, Minia University. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group research design was employed. A language teaching program based on GLM was developed by the researcher and used with the treatment group, whereas, the conventional lecture method was used with the non-treatment group. Sixty female and male students were randomly chosen and divided into two groups: the treatment and the non-treatment. A critical reading questionnaire, a critical writing questionnaire, a language teaching GLM-based program, a pre-post critical reading test (CRT) and a pre-post critical writing test (CWT) were used as instruments of the study. T-test was used to analyze the statistical data of the study and Eta-Squared to measure the effect size of the GLM. Results revealed that the treatment group significantly outperformed the non-treatment one on the post-performance of both the critical reading and writing tests. Discussion of these findings, recommendations and suggestions for further research are presented. (Published abstract)
