Abstract: This study investigated the impact of intellectual disability (ID) on the family economy in Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria. The cost of parenting a child with ID in Nigeria is overwhelming as there is no state provision for the care of this group, consequently imposing burden on the parents. Parents of persons with ID in Calabar South Local Government Area, Cross River State, Nigeria, constituted the study population. The study sample includes 150 parents of persons with ID. Intellectual Disability and Family Economy Assessment Scale (r = 0.877) was used for data collection. Data were analysed using frequency count and percentage. The study revealed that ID significantly affects the family economy and education of siblings and persons with ID in Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria. The impact of ID on the family economy in the study area is generally negative. Nigerian government should put in place the necessary social facility that will help reduce the impact of the disability on the families.

Abstract: Objective: The article is devoted to the definition of critical thinking skills, the stimulation of critical thinking in language teaching. One of the requirements of the global linguistic globalisation is functional literacy, which involves a degree of native languages. Today the objective historical principal is the nomination of more serious requirements to the knowledge level and skills of students.

Background: In the current realities, the educational process in higher education institutions should focus on building skills that contribute to the implementation of the concept of “education throughout life”. It is obvious that the main condition for the formation of such skills is the presence of a certain level of functional literacy.

Method: To test the hypothesis of the research and achieve the objectives the following methods have been used: theoretical: analysis of pedagogical, philosophical, psychological literature on research; empirical: observation, analysis of results of operations, testing, conducting formative, notes and summarising experiments; statistical: mathematical processing of experimental results.

Results: The results of experimental work have shown positive changes in all indicators of the activity component. Significantly reduce the number of students who own conclusions and explanations skills at a low level.

Conclusion: To ensure the efficiency of the formation of functional literacy encourage students to apply the technology of critical thinking, which can be used to form the organisational, intellectual and other skills, including the ability to carry out activities of teaching independently.

Keywords: Qualified specialists, educational process, law schools, educational motivation, critical thinking.
