Toyohashi JALT:

Questions as a Precursor to Communication.

Date: Sunday, April 22nd, 2007 Time: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Speaker: Folake Abass

Description:
Asking questions leads to better communication, and the unfamiliarity of Japanese students with asking questions often interferes with the natural flow of conversation. As a result, students may lack information necessary to conduct a conversation or worse, be left out of the communication loop altogether. Instead of asking only yes/no questions, students should be encouraged to ask questions which require more elaborate answers and prompt follow-up questions. The presenter will illustrate how to give students practice asking and answering questions in English. By developing these skills, students will be encouraged to use questions as a source of gaining and sharing information. This workshop will introduce questions that teachers can integrate into classroom practices.
