Although research in critical literacy has long been conducted in English as a second language contexts, a modicum of critical literacy research in English as a foreign language (EFL) contexts in which English is seldom used outside the classroom environment has also been undertaken. This article aims to discuss the introduction of critical literacy in the Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages (TESOL) profession, which has been neglected by TESOL researchers and practitioners in EFL contexts. The article reviews and synthesizes the existing literature by providing conceptualizations of the critical literacy approach to TESOL, examples of critical literacy implementation, and the benefits and challenges of implementing critical literacy pedagogy. The article concludes by calling for more critical literacy research in EFL contexts.

尽管长期以来以英语作为第二语言环境来进行批判性扫盲研究，但也很少进行英语作为外语（EFL）上下文的批判性扫盲研究，其中很少在课堂环境之外使用英语。本文旨在讨论将英语教学中的批判性读写能力引入其他语言使用者（TESOL）的情况，这已被TESOL研究人员和从业者在EFL环境中所忽略。本文通过提供对TESOL的关键扫盲方法的概念化，关键扫盲实施的示例以及实施关键扫盲教育的收益和挑战，回顾并综合了现有文献。本文的结尾是呼吁在EFL语境中进行更多的批判性扫盲研究。
