Critical thinking ability is one of the most important abilities in university education, but the cultivation of students' critical thinking ability is widely absent in college English speech teaching. College English speech is not only a practical skill, but also an effective way to cultivate English comprehensive language ability and promote the development of thinking ability. English speech can fully show the comprehensive quality of the speaker, especially the critical thinking ability. Based on the cultivation of students' critical thinking ability, this paper studies and discusses the teaching of English speech, trying to construct a more effective thinking-inspired teaching mode, so as to improve students' comprehensive quality in all-round development. The course of college English speech should focus on cultivating students' critical thinking ability, internalizing solid knowledge by flipping the classroom, enriching cultural connotation, guiding students to flexibly use logical thinking and creative thinking according to communication tasks, and perfecting the speech content. Generally speaking, English speaking can not only improve students' dialectical thinking ability and writing level, but also encourage students to actively strengthen the horizontal connection between literature, history and philosophy subjects, broaden their horizons, improve the flexibility of thinking, and be conducive to the cultivation of innovative talents.
