Answers

Faith
- Grade the questions i.e. use all the varieties and use suitable language:
- The teacher should be interested both in questions and answers.
- The questions should be asked at appropriate speed.
- Ask the question first, and then name the learner to answer if after a slight pause.
- Be prepared to modify questions if the correct answers are not obtained.
- Reinforce answers appropriately.
- Address the question to the class; hesitate and then call on a specific learner.
- Scatter questions over the entire class; and avoid any consistence/ regular procedure of questioning (i.e.) rows, alphabetical order.
- Allow a reasonable time for answering; as time is needed to formulate an answer but do not allow too much time.
- Pose questions within the ability of the learner to whom the question is addressed. (i.e.) direct difficult questions to capable learner and simple ones to the less capable.
- Ask questions to the inattentive (i.e.) direct questions to one not concentrating.
- Require learners to give complete answers. Do not repeat answers given in low tone, tell them to repeat loudly.
- Encourage learners to ask questions but keep them relevant and demand good English; also help them formulate the questions.
- Do not permit chorus answers; or group responses. This leads to loss of class control and makes it hard to pin point those who make errors.
- Do not ask questions which can be answered by guessing since this promotes bad study and learning habits; also has no value.
- Learn to use the key words of questioning namely:
How? Why? Which? What? When? Where?
