I. Introduction
Classroom questioning is the main form of teacher-student exchange of information and language practice. “Questioning is one of the most frequently used teaching techniques” (Richard steal 379). It also plays an important part in effective teaching. To some extent, the art of classroom teaching is the art of classroom questioning. Questions will directly influence the quality of classroom teaching. Sterling G.Callahan, an American educational expert, thinks that questioning is the basic control means for teachers to promote students’ thinking in order to evaluate the teaching effect and push students to achieve the desired goals. According to Postman (140), “All of our knowledge results from questions”. Chus ka (126) claims that teacher’s question can help students to connect current learning with previous and even subsequent learning. There is no exaggeration to say that people can hardly find a lesson without questions from beginning to end. According to the survey, questioning accounts for 25% to 45% in the activities of English classroom interaction which plays an important role in the success or failure of English teaching. “Too many educators and teachers to encourage students to think are far more crucial than to impart information. And the ultimate purpose of education is to enable students to think creatively and resolve doubts by themselves” (Jacobsen, D. A 145). So important role questioning in classroom teaching is because questioning is the necessary component to constitute classroom interaction and bilateral communication between teachers and students or students and students. And the communication is the essence of teaching and also the most important and basic factor in effective teaching. Classroom questioning has arisen attention in language teaching over the years. 课堂提问在小学和初中英语教学中使用情况的对比分析:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_17364.html
