IMPACT OF QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES ON DEVELOPING SPEAKING SKILLS IN 6TH - GRADE LEARNERS
Аннотация
Developing speaking skills in young learners is a crucial aspect of language acquisition, and effective questioning techniques play a significant role in enhancing oral communication. This study explores the impact of various questioning strategies on the speaking skills of 6th-grade learners. It examines how open-ended, closed questions , higher-order questions and reflective questions encourage student interaction, critical thinking, and fluency. The research includes classroom observations, teacher interviews, and student assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of different questioning techniques. Findings suggest that well-structured questioning fosters confidence, expands vocabulary, and improves overall speaking proficiency. The study highlights the importance of teacher-led discussions and interactive questioning to create a communicative classroom environment.
