The most important key to create an interactive learning is the initiation of interaction from the teacher by using question, Brown (2001:169). Appropriate questioning can fulfill a number of different functions, such as:
1.
Teacher questions give students the opportunity to
produce language comfortably without having to risk initiating language
themselves. It is very scary for the students to have to initiate conversation
or topics for discussion.
2.
Teacher question can serve to initiate a chain reaction
of students interaction among themselves.
3.
Teacher questions giving immediate feedback about
students’ comprehension.
4.
Teacher questions provide students with opportunities
to find out what they think. As they are nudged into responding to questions
about, say, a reading, they can discover what their own opinions and reactions
are. This self-discovery can be especially useful for a pre-reading
activity.
Perhaps the simplest way to
conceptualize the possibilities is to think of a range of questions, beginning
with display questions that attempt to elicit information already known by the
teacher and the students. In this study, the writer interested to use
pre-questioning in order to make the general frame of the knowledge.
