Critical thinking is the core ability of innovation in the new era. For a long time, the traditional teaching in college English has focused mostly on language skills instead of thinking ability, thus leading to the “Syndrome of Absence of Critical Thinking” remained unsolved. This study surveyed 210 non-English sophomores to find out the current situation of college students' critical thinking skills and analyze the reasons. Guided by the teaching principle of TERRIFIC, this paper will explore a new teaching mode of integrating critical thinking skills into college English in the era of digital intelligence, with an expectation of providing new perspectives for the reform of college English in China.
