The present paper aims to present a brief investigation into teachers’ question types and students’ answers in primary school English teaching, and tries to draw some implications for primary school English teachers. The video was transcribed and analyzed by the researcher. According to what is surveyed in the study, some questioning strategies were put forward for primary English teaching in the future.展开更多
