Due to the high frequency of questioning as a teaching strategy and its potential influence on learners’ acquisition of language, the relationship between teacher questioning and students’ performance has been examined. This study investigated teacher questions of nine college classes of English in vocational universities in southern Taiwan in terms of question forms, question functions, and learner responses. The purpose is to see how EFL teachers use questions to maintain or enhance teacher-student interaction in the classroom. After 224 participants and nine teachers were recruited as convenience samples, videotaping of each class for six periods in a row was conducted. After transcription, coding of the question forms, functions and learner responses was made by three pairs of experienced English teachers. Apart from the transcript results, a student questionnaire and interviews for 44 sampled students and for nine teachers supplemented the transcript results to obtain more in-depth discovery and interpretation. While the questionnaire aims to reveal how the students perceive teacher questions, the interviews intends to find out the reasons for the teachers’ choice of questions and for the students’ attitudes toward teacher questions. The results have shown that among 1828 questions found, Q-word (Q) (30.25%), non-clausal (N) (30.14%) and interrogative (I) (27.24%) forms are the most frequently used. The Q and I forms have explicit lexical or morpho-syntactic elements that mark their functions as questions. With an open-ended feature, the use of the Q form indicates the teachers’ intentions of promoting classroom talk. Next, the use of the N form, resembling what is often used in daily conversations, is time-saving without sacrificing clarity of the talk. Finally, the I form, is favored for self-corrections or for low achievers. In the distribution of question functions, display functions (48.14%) outnumbered referential (30.03%) and procedural ones (20.73%). Despite the advantage of using display questions to encourage responses of low achievers, the use of referential questions ought to be increased when fluency is the focus in a speaking class. As for learner responses, most of them are “no response” (66.85%). In addition, a correlation was found between N and D forms, and display functions, Q and N forms and procedural functions. Also N, I and A forms were correlated with restricted responses; Q and N forms were with no response. No correlation was found between any function and response.From the questionnaire and interview results, most of the students were aware of the use of teacher questions and willing to answer them. They preferred open-ended questions as the teachers often did. However, a large number of “no responses” show the teachers’ questioning strategy did not work out effectively partly due to the students’ cultural background, where they fear to make mistakes, lose face, show off in front of others, or challenge teachers’ authority. Besides, the students’ lack of confidence in their English, the teachers’ chaining questions, or insufficient wait-time may be other possible causes. This study shows that there is no single factor of teacher questions that contribute to more and longer student output. There is also a discrepancy between the teachers’ actual use of questions and the perceptions of the students and teachers.參考文獻 Almeida, P., & Neri de Souza, F. (2009).

This study investigated teacher questions of nine college classes of English in vocational universities in southern Taiwan in terms of question forms, question functions, and learner responses. The purpose is to see how EFL teachers use questions to maintain or enhance teacher-student interaction in the classroom. After 224 participants and nine teachers were recruited as convenience samples, videotaping of each class for six periods in a row was conducted. After transcription, coding of the question forms, functions and learner responses was made by three pairs of experienced English teachers. Apart from the transcript results, a student questionnaire and interviews for 44 sampled students and for nine teachers supplemented the transcript results to obtain more in-depth discovery and interpretation. While the questionnaire aims to reveal how the students perceive teacher questions, the interviews intends to find out the reasons for the teachers’ choice of questions and for the students’ attitudes toward teacher questions. The results have shown that among 1828 questions found, Q-word (Q) (30.25%), non-clausal (N) (30.14%) and interrogative (I) (27.24%) forms are the most frequently used. The Q and I forms have explicit lexical or morpho-syntactic elements that mark their functions as questions. With an open-ended feature, the use of the Q form indicates the teachers’ intentions of promoting classroom talk. Next, the use of the N form, resembling what is often used in daily conversations, is time-saving without sacrificing clarity of the talk. Finally, the I form, is favored for self-corrections or for low achievers. In the distribution of question functions, display functions (48.14%) outnumbered referential (30.03%) and procedural ones (20.73%). Despite the advantage of using display questions to encourage responses of low achievers, the use of referential questions ought to be increased when fluency is the focus in a speaking class. As for learner responses, most of them are “no response” (66.85%). In addition, a correlation was found between N and D forms, and display functions, Q and N forms and procedural functions. Also N, I and A forms were correlated with restricted responses; Q and N forms were with no response. No correlation was found between any function and response.From the questionnaire and interview results, most of the students were aware of the use of teacher questions and willing to answer them. They preferred open-ended questions as the teachers often did. However, a large number of “no responses” show the teachers’ questioning strategy did not work out effectively partly due to the students’ cultural background, where they fear to make mistakes, lose face, show off in front of others, or challenge teachers’ authority. Besides, the students’ lack of confidence in their English, the teachers’ chaining questions, or insufficient wait-time may be other possible causes. This study shows that there is no single factor of teacher questions that contribute to more and longer student output. There is also a discrepancy between the teachers’ actual use of questions and the perceptions of the students and teachers. en_US dc.description.tableofcontents CHAPTER 1 1INTRODUCTION 1Background 1Statement of the Problem 5Purpose of the Study 6Research Questions 7Significance of the Study 8Organization of the Dissertation 9CHAPTER 2 11LITERATURE REVIEW 11Organization of the Chapter 11Classroom Interaction 11Theoretical Bases of Classroom Interaction 13Input Hypothesis 14Interaction Hypothesis 16Output Hypothesis 19Social-cultural Theory 20Classroom Discourse Patterns 22Teacher Talk 26Teacher Questions 27Taxonomies of Teacher Questions 30Linguistic taxonomies of questions: question forms 30Functional taxonomies of questions: question functions 32Cognitive taxonomies of questions: levels of thinking 36General Description of Purposes of Teachers’ Questions 38Research on Learner Responses to Teachers’ Questions 41CHAPTER 3 43METHODOLOGY 43Tentative Frameworks 44Pilot Study 48Formal Study 50Research Context 51Participants 51Procedure 54Instruments 56Frameworks for Formal Study 57Questionnaire 60Interviews 62Videotaping 63Data Analysis 64Transcribing Transcripts, Coding, and Frequency Analysis 65Analysis of Questionnaire and Interviews 67CHAPTER 4 69ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION OF RESULTS 69Organization of the Chapter 69Analysis of Question Forms, Functions and Learner Responses 70Analysis and Discussion of Question Forms 70Summary of Analysis of Question Forms 86Analysis and Discussion of Question Functions 88Summary of Analysis of Question Functions 100Analysis and Discussion of Learner Responses 101Summary of Analysis of Learner Responses 110Analysis of Relations between Question Forms, Functions and Learner Responses 111Summary of Analysis of Relations between Question Forms, Functions, and Learner Responses 120Results of the Questionnaire 122Analysis and Comparison of the Results of Questionnaire, Interview and Transcripts 123Summary of Analysis and Comparison of Results of Questionnaire, Interviews and Transcripts 135CHAPTER 5 139CONCLUSION 139Answers to Research Questions 139Pedagogical Implications 144Limitations of the Study 149Directions for Future Research 150REFERENCES 152Appendix A-1 Questionnaire for Students (Chinese Version) 166Appendix A-2 Questionnaire for Students (English Version) 168Appendix A-3 List of Student Questionnaire Questions under Four Themes 170Appendix B Interview Questions for Students 172Appendix C Interview Questions for Teachers 174Appendix D Transcription notation from Jefferson Transcription System 176Appendix E English Proficiency Test Scores Concordance 178Vita 179 zh_TW dc.format.extent 1336041 bytes - dc.format.mimetype application/pdf - dc.source.uri (資料來源) http://thesis.lib.nccu.edu.tw/record/#G0093551505 en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) 教師問句 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 問句形式 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 問句功能 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) 學習者回應 zh_TW dc.subject (關鍵詞) Teacher question en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Question form en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Question function en_US dc.subject (關鍵詞) Learner response en_US dc.title (題名) 台灣技職高等教育中教室互動之研究: 英語會話課中教師問句之使用 zh_TW dc.title (題名) A study on classroom interaction at vocational colleges in Taiwan: the use of teacher questions in English conversation courses en_US dc.type (資料類型) thesis en_US dc.relation.reference (參考文獻) Almeida, P., & Neri de Souza, F.
