In the first stage, learners analyzed argument texts and identified grounds of the arguments they agreed with. In the second stage. learners located and refuted logical loopholes in argument texts. In the third stage, learners planned, participated in, and evaluated debates using their own knowledge and information from materials they searched for. The survey questionnaire conducted after class revealed learners thought their argumentation abilities had improved. Consequently, learners can critically analyze, select, and use data through the practice of argumentation. Through the transition of their roles from readers who were the recipients of information to presenters and debaters who were producers of information, learners experienced acceptance and production of knowledge; this is expected to help cultivate academic literacy.
