These are open-ended questions that help students contribute their ideas,
contribute information and insights to better understand, practice using better
language.
The open question has the following positive ones:
- Through the questions posed, students are actively engaged in the
lesson, the time the students are talking in the class increases.
- Suggestions to raise the students 'well-being, consolidate and develop
the students' thinking, learning strategies.
- Lessons are more attractive and interesting to students, because they
have better motivation to learn.
- It is a means of checking and timely responding to the necessary
information for the teacher to grasp the level of understanding of students such
as: Students who understand the good lessons, which students need more
support ...
So how to exploit this kind of question?
Suggested questions to help students better understand: This is a small,
easy-to-follow quiz to help students find answers to questions. Suggested
Questions Help Students Understand Totals: This is a small, easy-to-make quiz
that can help students find answers to more difficult questions while learning a
lesson. These types of questions are often deliberately arranged by the teacher so
that the questions step by step prompt students to understand a great deal of
content.
Example: In lesson 7 on page 80 of English textbook grade 11 teacher can
ask the following questions:
- Who can you see in the first picture?
- How many children?
- How is the house which his family live in?
- What does the man do to earn his living?
- What do the two pictures tell you?
* Suggestion questions test concept, meaning of words.
At the stage of introducing new intonation, an important step is needed
before the training stage to check the level of capturing the meaning of that
One of the tricks of language understanding at this stage is to ask a series
of questions around the meaning of the material.
* Check the meaning of the grammatical structure.
Example: In lesson 1, focus language page 21 of English textbook grade 11
Mary wanted to borrow a French book yesterday
The questions could be:
+ When did John want to borrow a Frenh book?
+ What are the last two letters of the verb "want"?
Etc ...
f- Reading comprehension, listening comprehension:
This is the type of question most commonly used by teachers for their
listening and comprehension skills. However, in order to effectively use these
questions the teacher also needs to understand the types of questions and the
difficulty level of those types of questions. The types of comprehension and
comprehension questions can be summarized as follows:
* Question types divided by morphology, structure.
- Yes, no Question
- Or-Question (altennative questions)
- Wh- Question
- How Question
- Multiple choice
- True / False
* Type of questions divided by the content of the answers.
- Questions are answered by directly retrieving the sentences available in
the text.
- Questions are answered with the information selected in the lesson.
- Questions are answered with indirect suggestions in the article
- The questions require the evaluation inference to answer.
In practice, the difficult or easy question does not necessarily depend on
the complexity of the structure of the question, but also on the level of response
required (as mentioned in section b).Teachers should combine these two
elements to create the right questions for the students.
