Summary Are we asking effective questions? Are we aware of
the type of questions we are
asking? Are we clear about the function
of our questions? This paper
will investigate different types of questions and their pedagogical
implications for the teaching/learning of EFL. The paper focuses on genuine
questions, that is question forms which require an answer, but also gives
examples of questions which perform other functions. |
