Abstract	One of the significant conditions of being human is to understand the meaning of experience along with developing all aspects of humanity. Reflection and more importantly, critical reflection, looks back on experiences in a way that people learn from them. And, narrative writing would be a suitable conduit for explaining such an appeal. The present paper attempted to illuminate how narrative writing would help five Iranian teenagers’ pre-intermediate EFL learners who are all living in (Homa Town) to become true critical thinkers. Moreover, it sought to discover how different challenging classroom topics about food, sport, vacation, lye and the due critical reflections written in one or two paragraphs affect students’ views towards social issues and their autonomy. Qualitative research within Ethnographic analysis of data was the methodological inclination of this work. Examining the efficiency of the work and its impact on learners’ writing was also another requirement of this work. Since the learners stimulated discussions there was an exchange of ideas in a cooperative fashion. The result of this study further indicated that the learners became more autonomous. As well, their scores generally increased and they became aware of how powerfully they could manifest their thought in their narrative writing.
