Abstract

Engaging students to participate in productive learning is a prerequisite for successful instruction. Teachers as instructional leaders should be creative and proactive in finding the best ways to enable effective learning to take place. One of the most well-known strategies is the use of appropriate ‘questioning’ during the instructional process. Teachers’ questioning strategies can encourage learning, but at the same time, they can also discourage learning when they are not carried out effectively. As teachers’ ways of posing questions are paramount for effective learning, it is timely to research this issue, teachers’ ways of asking questions during classroom instruction, and their students’ responses. The participants were two English teachers and their students at a secondary school in Aceh Province, Indonesia. The data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and questionnaires. The study found that teachers used various questioning strategies, such as designing icebreaking activities and giving simple quizzes as attention grabbers. In addition, some types of questioning strategies, such as repetition, simplification, decomposition, structuring the questions, reacting to the students’ answers (giving a reward, complimenting, and motivating the students), using native language, and giving students some wait time to think about the answers were among the many strategies applied in the classroom. These questioning strategies were considered effective by the teachers and students in the study to promote productive language learning.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of formative exams and communicative grammar teaching strategies on the students’ oral response-ability. This research had a 2x2 factorial experimental design where 80 third-year university students were assigned using multistage cluster probability random sampling. The data were analyzed using a two-way covariance analysis (ANCOVA) to test the research hypotheses. The study outcomes demonstrated that students taught with constructive formative tests had higher achievement than those receiving the selective formative examination. The result indicated that deductive learning with concept maps was more effective in improving students’ ability of communicative competence compared to inductive learning. Additionally, this study found that students taught with deductive grammar instructional strategy accompanied by English concept maps demonstrated higher achievement in communicative competence than those taught with inductive grammar instructional strategy in the group of students treated with the selective formative test. Deductive learning procedures with concept maps had positive impacts from the inductive strategy to the student capacity to respond orally among students who were given constructive formative examinations. Notably, the effectiveness of various sub-instructional tactics and sub-formative test combinations on students’ verbal response capacity varied. Thus, English teachers must create formative examinations by considering constructive formative tests. Based on the research findings, recommendations for how teachers can improve students’ oral-response ability by adopting appropriate assessments using more deductive learning are discussed.
