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. |
