The questions I have collected were from lesson ‘Making Robots Human’. First of all the teacher asked warm up questions. He let students brainstorm and use their background knowledge. Questions types such as “what is robot?” “have you ever seen robot?” grabbed students attention. Students are intermediate level and the teacher asked questions according to it. Question pattern was in right order. Warm up questions, questions from the text and questions about ss opinion were forwarded. In my opinion there are many factors that increase difficulty of questions. For example yes/no questions are easy type of questions because it doesn’t need much information. Students respond only saying yes or no to the question. Students respond to yes or no question quickly and this helps teacher to check knowledge of the content in short time. The advantage of being easy and time saving lets teachers ask yes/no questions in the beginning of the lesson. Throughout my observation I realized that teachers ask yes/no questions at the beginning of the lesson and then they move into harder questions such as short answer questions. Short answer questions are composed of two to three words and sometimes one sentence. It is harder for students to guess the answer because it requires more information. After finishing reading the text my teachers forwarded harder questions such as imaginative and open-ended questions. The information is given to students while reading the text or doing the activity. My teachers try to check who understood the given information by asking questions that require information in which opinion or judgement is called for.
Response to Questions: - Have you ever seen a robot? (Ss’ answer: Yeah, I saw in auto show once.)
- Can you fold a ruler? (Ss’ answer: No it will break.)
- What is the total number of world population? (Ss’ answer: I guess it is 7 billion)
- If you could design a robot what would it do? (I would design a robot to do my home works)
Questions and responses above are few examples I recorded in the classroom. Questions are chosen according to Ss’ level and this makes easier for them to answer. When a student can’t answer the question the teacher lets another student answer without giving another chance. The teachers are very disciplined and this allows Ss’ to be more careful. Throughout my observation students were always interactive in classroom. Generally most of the students have English speaking skill and have sufficient knowledge to share information. From what I saw the schools teaching system target is to involve each student in every class and improve speaking skill. I didn’t see any student who doesn’t participate to the lesson. When a teacher asks question students race to answer it. Sisli Terakki School is known for its English education and I confirmed it after observing for a whole term.
