Education English | Purposes of Asking Questions | Morgan and Saxton cited by Risnawati (2008: 4) explain that teachers ask questions in order to keep students actively involved in lesson, to provide the student with the opportunity to express their ideas and thoughts, to enable other students to hear different explanation of the material by their peers, to help teachers pace their lessons moderate students’ behavior, and to help teachers evaluate student learning and revise their lesson as necessary. Sheffield (cited by Risnawati, 2008:4) gives detail purposes of asking question as follows:
1. Diagnose students’ understanding and evaluate their performance.
2. Identify students’ interests and backgrounds.
3. Lead student to consider new ideas and make use of ideas already learned.
4. Assess students’ prior knowledge.
5. Help the student clarify their ideas and thought processes.
6. Motivate the students by encouraging them to participate in learning actively.
7. Encourage the students to ask their own questions.
8. Challenge beliefs and guide reconsideration of values students hold.
9. Assess the effectiveness of teacher’s teaching.
10. Develop rapport with students.
11. Find out any student having difficulties on tasks.
12. Revise information from a previous session.
