Keywords: teachers‟, questioning strategies, class interaction
The objectives of this study are to identify the types of teachers‟ questioning
strategies, to explain the types of questioning strategies that are mostly used, and
to describe teachers' reasons for using questioning strategies based on Wajnryb's
theory. The subjects of this study were two English teachers SMP N 1 Juwana
who taught eighth-grade students. This research used a descriptive qualitative
method and the data were collected and obtained from classroom observation,
recording, and interview. Research findings show that both teachers used yes/no,
short-answer, display, referential, and open-ended questions during the lesson,
while imaginative questions never appeared during learning. Short-answer
questions and display questions are types of questions that are mostly used by
teachers. Research findings show the reason teachers use questioning strategies to
provoke student responses and create a pleasant classroom atmosphere so that
goals can be achieved. It was proven from classroom observations that students
became more active when teachers used questioning strategies during teaching
and learning activities.
