What is the advantage of questions given by the teacher?
Questions are often used to stimulate the recall of prior knowledge, promote comprehension, and build critical-thinking skills. Teachers ask questions to help students uncover what has been learned, to comprehensively explore the subject matter, and to generate discussion and peer-to-peer interaction.
How often should a teacher know the answer to a question?
The longer you teach, the less frequent it hopefully becomes, but no one (no matter how experienced) is completely safe from the dreaded unexpected question. Not knowing the answer to a student’s question doesn’t make you a bad teacher.
Does not knowing the answer to a student’s question Make you Bad?
Not knowing the answer to a student’s question doesn’t make you a bad teacher. It doesn’t even (necessarily) mean you’re under-prepared for the lesson – sometimes students can throw you a massive curveball which has nothing to do with the vocabulary or grammar point being studied.
What do you do when you don’t know the answer?
Acknowledge the question. Even if you are totally stuck for an answer, do acknowledge the question – chances are that if you don’t know the answer, it’s potentially a good one! Admit that you don’t know. This takes courage to do, especially as it can feel like you’re admitting a weakness as a teacher.
Does not knowing the answer make you a terrible teacher?
Not knowing the answer doesn’t make you a terrible teacher. It doesn’t mean that your students will all think you’re incompetent, and it definitely doesn’t mean that you’re about to get fired.
