Abstrak	:	The development of technology, information, and even education requires every person to be smart in adapting and adopting new situation. It is no doubt that a new situation leads to new challenges and also new problems. To be able to deal with such a situation, it is needed to train critical thinking skills. One of the ways is through applying a teaching technique in the classroom context, for example, debate technique. This training is also one of the ways to familiarize and to promote students’ higher order thinking skills. This research is aimed at promoting students’ critical thinking and speaking competence through applying debate technique. The method employed in this study was classroom action research. It was then completed by conducting a focused group discussion. The result of this research shows that there is a great improvement on students’ speaking after applying debate technique in two cycles. Besides, the students’ critical thinking also increased significantly which was shown by the ‘content’ of their response in second cycle post-test. The students were able to relate all sources they gathered before performing the debate and used them to upport their arguments during the debate and along with the second cycle post-test. Thus, it can be taken into account that debate technique was found effective in elevating students’ speaking competence and promoting their critical thinking as well.
