MAKING USE OF THE TEACHERS’ QUESTIONS IN DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ LANGUAGE INPUTS

Abstract

This paper discusses about using the teachers’ questions in developing language inputs: vocabulary, structure/grammar and pronunciation. The language inputs are very important for the students to master because their success in their language use or communication is determined by their mastery on the inputs. However, the mastery of these language inputs becomes a problem for the students due to some causes, namely, the unavailability of English speaking environment, the schools do not provide enough opportunities for optimizing the language inputs due to the limited time available and the teachers of English do not make use of the teaching  to increase the students’ language inputs maximally. To help solve this problem, this paper suggests the use of the teachers’questions to ask during the teaching process.
