Besides, competitiveness becomes one factor in peer group which positively and also negatively influence the students’ anxiety in learning English. Furthermore, grouping division by the teacher which created heterogeneous grouping gave better impact to the students’ anxiety in learning than by the students which created homogeneous grouping.

This study applied qualitative descriptive method. Classroom observation, field notes and interview were employed. The study engaged an English teacher at SMA Negeri 1 Tolitoli. The result showed that the teacher asked four out of six levels of questions. The teacher asked all lower-order levels questions (knowledge, comprehension and application) whereas he only asked fewer analysis questions as higher-order levels questions (never asked synthesis and evaluation questions). Furthermore, the teacher applied all questioning techniques proposed by Turney. They are structuring, focusing, redirecting, distributing, pausing, teacher reacting, prompting and changing the level of cognitive demand. This study also found the new technique, namely joking. However, the results revealed that the roles of teacher’s questioning only in the lower-order thinking of the students which could not facilitate the student’s critical thinking but it can lead the students to think critically. Therefore, it was recommended to maximize the use of higher-order levels questions in order to train the students think critically.Keywords: Lower-order levels questions, higher-order levels questions, questioning techniques, critical thinking
