1. Introduction
With the increase of the international communication and interaction, English has become very popular and inevitable in daily life. It serves as a tool for communication and interaction. Thus the English teaching becomes an important task in nowadays’ China. However, the Chinese students are poor at listening and speaking, which obstruct their free communication with others. In order to improve this phenomenon, teachers ask questions to increase the interaction between students and teachers.
In English classes, the “ask-and-answer” between teachers and students are inevitable and necessary. Teachers’ questioning is used frequently to draw students’ attention and curiosity, check the teaching effect, train students’ expressive ability, trigger students’ thinking and stimulate the classroom interaction. With the popularity of Communicative Approach in English teaching in China, the communication and interaction between students and teachers are more frequent. Hence, questioning is used as an essential technique to realize the interaction between students and teachers. However, questioning is not as simple as it seems. There are specific rules in questioning, without which teachers cannot put forward effective questions. Nowadays in junior middle school English class, there exist some questioning problems that obstruct the teaching process, for example, most students are unwilling to answer the questions; some of the students find the “wait-time” too short to think over the questions; teachers prefer to pick up a particular group of students to answer the questions, etc. All these problems are not uncommon in China’s middle school English class but are often neglected without even being noticed. This paper is aimed to discuss about these problems and try to solve these problems. 初中英语课堂中的教师提问技巧:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_57968.html
