The document discusses the use of questions in developing listening skills. It examines the importance of questions and different types of questions like display vs referential, focused vs open, pre-listening vs while-listening vs post-listening questions. Focused questions help learners focus on specific details but can be overused, while open questions require more creative thinking from learners but may not have correct answers. Both focused and open questions are useful depending on the language level and should be used together for developing effective listening skills.
