BING-Asking Questions And Eliciting
The most important key to create an interactive language classroom in the initiation interaction by teacher. Teacher need to be able to stimulate these interaction. One of the best way to develop teacher’s role as an initiator a repertoire of questioning strategies (Brown, 2001, p.169). In some classrooms over half of class time is taken up with question-and-answer exchanges. Researchers who have examined the contribution of teachers’ questions to classroom second language learning state that questions play a crucial role in language acquisition. They mention that questions can be used to allow the learner to keep participating in the discourse and even modify it so that the language used become more comprehensible and personally relevant ( Richard and Lockhart, 2004, p. 185)
Participants are able to distinguish and use techniques for asking questions in class and their effect on the learning environment, such as:
- analyze different types of questions and their function
- reflect on the effect of different questioning techniques on learners and learning reflect on approaches to dealing with questions with a variety of possible answers
You also will be introduced to matters relating to:
- Reasons for questioning
- Effective questioning
- Question skills, and
- Eliciting
