This study combined questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations to empirically investigate the critical thinking dispositions of 87 non-English major students from the 2024 cohort at a university in Sichuan Province under the flipped classroom model.  Utilizing the critical thinking ability test developed by Professor Mei-Chi Peng, I conducted on students' critical thinking ability using a scale, combined with relevant data obtained from specific interviews and teaching observations. Through analysis, it can be seen that the flipped classroom teaching model can promote students' personalized learning, enhance their ability to think and solve problems, and thus cultivate their critical thinking.
