Suzanne Meyer, the assistant director of the English Language Institute at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, says that many students need to develop critical thinking skills.
诺克斯维尔田纳西大学英语语言学院副院长苏珊·迈耶 (Suzanne Meyer) 表示,许多学生需要培养批判性思维能力。
In other words, students need to learn how to collect information, and then evaluate the information and apply it to a new context.
换句话说,学生需要学习如何收集信息,然后评估信息并将其应用到新的环境中。
"We need to get students actively engaged in inquiry, from the beginning levels on, into those levels where they really are close to professional and university contexts." One way to develop critical thinking skills, Meyer says, is to teach students to be creative about the types of questions that they ask.
“我们需要让学生积极参与探究,从初级开始,一直到他们真正接近专业和大学背景的水平。” 迈耶说,培养批判性思维技能的一种方法是教学生创造性地提出他们提出的问题类型。
Benefits of question-asking for English learners Meyer says that there are many benefits to using question-asking activities with English learners.
提问对英语学习者的好处 迈耶说,对英语学习者进行提问活动有很多好处。
Question-asking activities help students to become better language learners.
提问活动帮助学生成为更好的语言学习者。
"Question-asking overall helps students be better language learners. Not for the obvious, because you ask a question you get an answer.
“总的来说,提问有助于学生成为更好的语言学习者。 不是显而易见的,因为你提出问题你就会得到答案。
Often, questions are the first point of contact. And so if my question is not good, then that's going to direct the level of our conversation." Meyer also says that question-asking may help develop critical thinking skills by allowing for more interactions: "People who can ask questions are very confident. And when you are confident, you can have more interaction. That extra interaction might lead to critical thinking.
通常,问题是第一个接触点。 因此,如果我的问题不好,那么这将影响我们谈话的水平。” 迈耶还表示,提问可以通过允许更多的互动来帮助培养批判性思维能力: “能够提出问题的人都非常有信心。 当你有信心时,你可以有更多的互动。 这种额外的互动可能会导致批判性思维。
Because you are more likely to actually integrate in some fashion into a new setting if you are in an ESL scenario.
因为如果您处于 ESL 场景中,您更有可能以某种方式真正融入新环境。
So, I think overall, just the whole question-asking idea has so many benefits." How can you practice asking questions? There are many strategies to improve question-asking and develop critical thinking skills. One possible strategy, says Meyer, is to use question-asking patterns that start with concrete questions and move to abstract questions. SOURCE: SUZANNE MEYER So, for example, if students were reading a new text, they would design a series of questions using three different steps. If students follow these three steps, they have not only practiced creative ways to ask questions, they have also started practicing critical thinking.
所以,我认为总的来说,整个提问的想法有很多好处。” 如何练习提问? 有许多策略可以提高提问能力和培养批判性思维能力。 迈耶说,一种可能的策略是使用提问模式,从具体问题开始,然后转向抽象问题。 资料来源:苏珊·迈耶 因此,例如,如果学生正在阅读新文本,他们将使用三个不同的步骤设计一系列问题。 如果学生遵循这三个步骤,他们不仅练习了创造性的提问方式,而且还开始练习批判性思维。

In this case, the story is about how different foods affect a person.

These questions, and other questions listed in the table, are examples of how to develop questions. You should, of course, create your own questions! Meyer says that when teachers tell students which questions to answer, students are less likely to be creative about the types of questions that they ask. So, practice developing your own questions!
这些问题以及表中列出的其他问题是如何提出问题的示例。 当然,您应该创建自己的问题! 迈耶说,当老师告诉学生要回答哪些问题时,学生就不太可能对他们提出的问题类型发挥创造力。 所以,练习提出你自己的问题!
Try making a list of questions that go from concrete to abstract, like the steps outlined above. Check with your teacher to make sure that your grammar is correct, and try to practice in the classroom.
尝试列出从具体到抽象的问题清单,就像上面概述的步骤一样。 与你的老师核实,确保你的语法正确,并尝试在课堂上练习。
