初中英语教学中课堂提问有效性的策略研究_英语论文.doc

Abstract

Einstein claimed that asking a question is more important than solving a problem. Students are asked various questions every day raised by teachers and classroom questioning runs through the whole teaching process. As the saying goes, one who is good at teaching should be good at asking as well. For teachers, effective questioning can help students inspire their thinking ability and create active atmosphere. For students, it can help them better grasp knowledge as well as skills. Furthermore, it can connect old knowledge with the new one and consolidate them without delay. The harmonious development between students and teachers can be well promoted at the same time. However, there are still many problems in English classroom questioning. This paper analyzes the present situation and explores the features of effective classroom questioning. After clarifying  significant functions of questioning, it puts forward some useful strategies to optimize classroom questioning: 1) Planning Strategies; 2) Process Strategies; 3) Adjusting Strategies; 4) Feedback Strategies. This paper aims at providing assistance for English teachers’ classroom questioning in junior high school.
