Workshop 5

Every weekly Cascading training courses are very interesting and useful for our teaching of English. They are not boring and we have opportunities to speak only English, share our ideas and opinions, and exchange our experiences. We have a friendly warm atmosphere. The last session was about Effective Questioning. We were introduced to Display and Referential questions. Our trainer Saodat explained to us how different types of questions are used in a teacher's talk, to practice basic questions forms and answer with students. Teachers can expect specific answers for DQs, so it is a strategy for supporting students to share their knowledge and understanding of a topic. DQs can be wh-questions,yes-or-no questions,true-or-false questions.Referential questions are asked in order to find out pupils' answers to questions that teachers don't know the answers to. These questions increase pupils' thinking skills.

Reflectoin:

I practised true-or-false questions in my lesson at school. I read statements to my learners in order to get answers of True or False after listening to the dialogue. This strategy gave good results. It helped me to develop my pupils' listening skills and their comprehension. I practised ICQ in order to know how my learners understand my instructions. I wanted to make sure that my pupils understood my instructions clearly.
