1. Introduction
Classroom questioning is an important technique in English classroom teaching, which is applied in every step of classroom teaching process. It also functions as the linkage in teacher-student communication. According to investigation statistics, the ratio of classroom questioning in English class interaction activities is between 20% and 40%(王笃勤 22). Therefore, classroom questioning plays an important role in English classroom teaching. However, quite a lot of teachers are not good at classroom questioning, which may result in poor teaching effect. To avoid that, teachers are supposed to consider the strategies of classroom questioning in classroom teaching.
According to New National English Curriculum for Chinese Primary Schools and Junior/Senior Middle Schools, there are five general objectives, among which attitudes to learning is especially important. This general objective can’t be achieved only by teachers’ one-sided teaching. In the process of asking and answering, there are collision of ideas and cognitive conflict, in which students gradually build their right worldview, philosophy, values and constantly develop the ability of value selection and value judgment at the same time. Thus, it is very significant for achieving the objective of attitudes to learning to investigate and analyze current situation of classroom questioning.
