It also examined the teachers‟ confidence in implementing HOTs in the language classroom. Employing a qualitative method approach, data was collected using a semi-structured interview, video recording and an observation checklist. In the interview, the participants claimed that they know how to implement Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTs) through questioning technique. However, during the observation, the use of Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTs) questions dominated the lesson. The study also revealed that participants had the tendency to use i-THINK maps in their lessons but lacked conceptual understanding of the correct usage of the maps.
