Abstract

Teachers’ questions play a very important role to initiate teaching and learning since they affect students’ responses. Almost all classroom interactions during teaching leaning process are built by teacher’s question. So far, the problem faced by the teacher is to deal with students’ participation, where the students are unresponsive and even avoid interaction with the teachers. This article is derived from the research conducted on finding teacher’s questions and students’ responses at EFL classroom activities at Senior High School Pariaman. This research is conducted to identify the types of questions which are used in EFL classroom. To meet the purpose, this research employed a descriptive qualitative research design. The participants were two teachers with 70 students. The study was carried out by observing and taking video recordings of two eleventh grade English teachers of Senior High School 1 Pariaman. Interviews were also employed in this study. The collected data were analyzed by Richard and Lockharts (1994) classification of procedural, convergent, and divergent questions. The findings indicate that convergent questions were highly uttered by the teachers rather than procedural and divergent questions.
