“学起于思,思源于疑。”疑,能激发学生的求知欲;疑,能促进学生积极动脑思考、探索,从而提出问题或新的见解。即提出问题是各个探究环节的核心。但是,时至今日,走进我们的课堂,“接受性学习”的方式比比皆是,因此,为了培养高素质人才,使学生在学习过程中敢疑、善疑,我们必须采用合理的教学方法,培养学生自主学习的能力,特别是提问能力,本文结合中学英语教学,谈谈学生提问能力的培养。 “Study from thinking, thought originated from doubt.” Suspicious, can stimulate students’ thirst for knowledge; doubts, can promote students to actively use their brains to think and explore, so as to raise questions or new insights. That is asking questions is the core of each inquiry. However, today, when we enter our classroom, “accepted learning” can be found everywhere. Therefore, in order to cultivate high-quality talents and enable students to be suspicious and skeptical in the learning process, we must adopt a reasonable teaching method. To cultivate students’ ability to study independently, especially the ability to ask questions, this article combines English teaching in middle schools to talk about students’ ability to raise questions.
