In that sense, the author of the given article considers critical thinking skills and creative thinking skills as instructional teaching strategies and techniques for communicative competence approaches and means of speaking competence development. The author also describes the estimation system of the given method and its content in the form of a systematic procedure and the theoretical principles of speaking competence learning using critical thinking and creative thinking as instructional teaching strategies. The aim of the given article is to develop a new instructional teaching strategy for better development of critical thinking and creativity thinking skills, especially in competence in speaking, based on unique "thinking outside the box” as a technique in learning. The author of the given article also developed and presented a notion called "problematizing situations" as an instructional strategy and theoretical category in the speaking activities learning process, comprising some theoretical aspects of the given communicative competence learning approach, including its own specifics and conceptual framework described in the given article. Problem-based speaking activities integrated with Blooms’ taxonomy are also The notion of "problematizing situations "presents concepts, ideas, and basic principles of critical thinking and creative thinking approaches to developing speaking competence in the form of several instructional strategies and theoretical aspects.
