Richard and Lockart(1994) think that the proper questioning can help the students to acquire the second language. Jin Chuanbao(1997) even thinks that the questioning process of the teachers should become the core of the class. Though almost all of the teachers are questioning, they know little about the questioning strategies. In this case, it is urgent to study this subject. The present study reveals some problems of four teachers' questioning strategies in Junior Middle School. I hope some helpful ideas can be found in the thesis.展开更多

English teaching process is the process of"asking"and"answering"between teachers and students. Teachers should not only pay attention to the artistry of questioning, but also attach great importance to the strategy of asking questions. Appropriate teachers' questions are conducive to cultivate students' divergent thinking, and encourage students to better master knowledge by thinking and discussing, thus contributing to classroom interactions move towards a climax.展开更多

The sample consisted of 20 teachers: 10 males and 10 females who taught 10th-grade classes, and 20 10th-grade classes: 10 male classes and 10 female classes where the interaction was held. Analysis of the kinds and levels of classroom questions raised by both teachers and students was done. An X2-test was used in analyzing the data of this study to see whether there was a significant difference in the kinds and levels of classroom questions between male and female students.

Interaction plays a key role in second language classroom. Teacher questioning, as one of the teacher initiating activities, could facilitate students' language acquisition by asking questions and initiating responses from students. In this essay, two samples of teacher questions were looked into to find out the types, purposes and effectiveness of teacher questions. It was found that the experienced teacher was better at employing teacher questions for interaction than the student teacher. Both of them should improve the questions they asked in classroom. More effective teacher questioning should be introduced according to specific language learning environment by referring to the cognitive level of the students and more opportunities and motivation should be provided for students' response.展开更多
