This study explores the coupling effect of critical competence and interdisciplinary learning in college English teaching and its mechanism.This paper, through theoretical analysis and empirical research, reveals the interactive relationship between critical thinking and interdisciplinary learning, and shows that they complement each other in English teaching and learning, and jointly promote students 'language learning, critical thinking and innovation.The study found that the improvement of critical ability helps students to better integrate knowledge of different disciplines and conduct effective analysis, reasoning and evaluation in the process of interdisciplinary learning; while interdisciplinary learning provides students with rich background knowledge and stimulates their multidimensional thinking and innovative thinking.By coupling the two, college English teaching improves students 'language ability and enhances their ability to analyze and solve complex problems comprehensively.Based on this, this paper puts forward several teaching strategies, aiming at further improving students 'critical thinking ability and promoting their English learning depth and breadth by designing interdisciplinary learning activities.
