Effective questioning is an important teaching skill that allows teachers to assess student knowledge, engage students, and encourage self-directed learning. Good questioning involves using a variety of open-ended questions at an appropriate difficulty level and giving students sufficient time to respond. Teachers should acknowledge all student answers positively and redirect questions when needed. Developing a classroom environment where students feel comfortable asking their own questions is also important.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Skill of Questioning
By Richard James
The importance of a well-developed questioning technique
Acquiring skills in questioning students is an important step towards becoming an effective
teacher. A good questioning technique can:
• allow teachers to gather information about the level of students' knowledge,
• actively involve all students in learning,
• develop the communication skills and confidence of students,
• encourage students to become self-directed learners, and
• provide recognition and reward for achievement.
Teachers develop the skills of effective questioning throughout their careers. Guidelines for
effective questioning, such as those given below, will not of themselves create expert
teachers, but can assist the ongoing development of an important asset for all teachers.
Guidelines for effective questioning
A question-based style of teaching is easiest to manage with individuals or small groups,
though it can be managed successfully in large groups by experienced teachers.
The following guidelines contain some hints for effective questioning:
1. Recognise and use different types of questions.
Closed questions, such as `"Did you read the state budget in the newspaper?",
invite a 'yes' or 'no' answer. Open questions, such as "What is the likely impact of
the budget on unemployment?", invite a more detailed response. Forced answer
questions seek a choice between alternatives you offer, as in "Was the budget
delivered by minister X ,Y or Z?" As a general rule, endeavour to ask open
questions, for they usually initiative productive interaction. Students may view
closed questions as rhetorical or may respond as a group. (However, note that
rhetorical questions can be useful way of signalling the direction of a lecture or
relationships between material, as in "Why should farmers be concerned about the
impact of the budget? This is what we will examine in the next lecture.")
2. Pitch questions at an appropriate level. Students are less likely to respond if a
question is perceived as either too difficult or too easy. If in doubt, rephrasing or
prompting may assist.
Remember that a slow response may indicate poor phrasing of the question, rather
than lack of understanding on the students' part. Vary the level of difficulty of
questions to allow students at different levels to participate.

3. Wait for a response. Not allowing sufficient time for students to answer is a
common problem. Be prepared to wait a number of seconds, though you may find
the silence awkward. Eye contact may encourage a student who is uncertain to
respond.
4. Respond positively to all answers that students offer, with verbal and body
language. Respond warmly and with encouragement. An inaccurate or inappropriate
response from a student requires attention -- it may be possible to reward correct
elements within the response whilst indicating where it was incorrect. Students may
be able to correct their answer themselves if they are prompted and encouraged. Be
prepared to re-direct the question to allow a number of student answers to build to a
coherent whole, or challenge with alternative views.
In large groups, try addressing questions to 'buzz groups' - small groups in which students
rapidly discuss an issue and contribute a response to the group as a whole. Buzz groups can
serve as a means of encouraging interaction within large lecture groups.
At worst, inappropriate questioning techniques may highlight students' inadequacies rather
than strengths, or may be used to embarrass students in a mistaken attempt to motivate or
discipline. Ineffective questioning may also involve:
• emphasis on closed or forced response questions rather than open questions,
• indiscriminate direction of questions to individuals rather than to the group,
• inadequate pauses to allow for student answers, or
• inadequate or inappropriate response to student answers.
Inviting questions from students
Teachers shouldn't be the only ones asking questions. It is desirable to create a classroom
climate in which students are able to ask questions confidently of the teacher and of each
other. Students will be uncomfortable asking a question if they feel they may be
demonstrating their ignorance and open to peer ridicule. Developing a climate in which
students feel relaxed about asking questions requires patience, time and the demonstrated
willingness of the teacher to invite such questions.
Some lecturers are comfortable with students presenting questions either at the start or end
of a session. Requesting questions ahead of time might encourage students to put adequate
thought into their preparation.
Students should be encouraged during their learning to ask questions of themselves. This
can be done in class or through incorporating questions into written course materials or
distance learning materials.
