摘要
Teacher's questions have traditionally been viewed as an important constituent of teacher talk in classroom context. Ever since Socrates, questioning skills have been addressed now and then for its unique significance in general education. With growing attention to ESL and EFL actions, teacher's questions have been studied for its taxonomy, purposes, functions, and skills. Questioning behaviors, however, remain mystical to many of the grass-root teachers in EFL context. This article is intended to discuss some of the common problems prevailing in the questioning behaviors of foreign language teachers, including choices of when to ask, who to ask, and how to ask.
外语教师课堂提问作为教师课堂话语的一个重要组成部分在外语教学界正在受到普遍的关注。本文作者基于自身多年的EFL教学经验,结合经常性的实地观摩,对外语教师在EFL课堂上的提问行为进行了大量的观察和分析,希望在客观展示课堂提问行为的同时,能够突破纯粹的为技巧而研究技巧的思维模式,把课堂提问的表面行为与教学双方的心理感受和情感交流作为研究提问行为,总结提问技巧,指导日常教学的切入点。本文通过第一手的课堂观摩记录真实的再现了EFL课堂提问存在的问题,并通过对实际情况的分析,得出了几条不能称之为"技巧"的教训:教师提问不能次序颠倒,不能对象混淆;不能急于求成,不能中途换将;不能为难学生,不能挫伤兴趣和自尊;不能只提问少数,不能忽略大多数。
