by Sophia McMillan

Feb 13, 2018 Teacher Training 3118 Views

~~What are Concept Check Questions (CCQs)?
 What are Concept Check Questions? A question to lead learners to understand or demonstrate their understanding of the meaning of a new item (vocab or structure).
 Why Use Them? They involve learners in the process of clarifying meaning and the teacher can check if learners have understood.
 When are They Used? During the clarification stage, before highlighting the form and drilling so learners are clear on the meaning of what they are saying. As well as throughout the lesson.
 How are They Made? Simplify language analysis so learners can understand the language used, then make the main points into questions. For example:
Target Language Main Points Questions
I’ve been to China.        I went in the past.     We don’t know when.     I’m not there now.

I mentioned the idea of having the proper weight time and helping the students to learn how to answer higher level questioning. Teachers have to practice asking higher level questioning and planning the right questions to ask during a lesson can not be something asked at the spur of the moment.
Part 3 will discuss how to adjust the level of questioning for students. Sometimes the teacher may need to begin with questions on the knowledge level of Bloom's Taxonomy, such as, "What color is the ocean on a map. " However, teachers should not leave all of their questions at the knowledge level.
Moving to higher level questioning is intended to stretch the student's thinking. Cognitive or evaluative questioning helps the teacher determine whether the student is comprehending ...
