The scores of the experimental and control groups were compared and analyzed. Also, the pre and post scores of the experimental group were compared and analyzed. The results of the study indicated that: 1) The experimental group surpassed the control group in the post administrations of the EFL creative reading & critical thinking test, and the questionnaire of critical language awareness. 2) The experimental group did better in the post administrations of the creative reading and critical thinking test, and the critical language awareness questionnaire than in the pre administrations. Therefore, it could be concluded that the suggested program based on critical discourse analysis and the interactive visuals has been effective in developing EFL creative reading, critical thinking skills and critical language awareness.
