It purposes to enhance students' language skills and critical thinking. This study uses an experimental design with a pre-experimental approach which involve a class at one of the secondary school in Kota Jambi. Data were collected through a set of tests and interviews to comprehensively address the research questions on the effect of using the IBL English learning module on students’ engagement, comprehension, and critical thinking. Data then analysed by using Paired Sample T-test. The participants were 30 11th-grade students. The finding revealed that there was significant improvement in students’ performance, as evidenced by the increase in the mean score from 7.7 in the pre-test to 8.13 in the post-test, indicating a significant effect of using the IBL English module on students’ English learning competence, especially in empowering their critical thinking. It is expected that this module might practically foster active students, lead them into critical thinking to support more meaningful English learning, and enhance the quality of English instruction, particularly at the secondary school in Jambi City. Recommendations for disseminating and implementing the module are provided for future research.
