Why are Basic Questions Important in the ESL Classroom?
At the beginning of each of my lessons I like to incorporate basic questions. I don’t know how many trial students I have had for my ESL class where the student has studied English for more than two years and they can’t even answer some basic questions about their age, school and birthday. Although some teachers may ask a question or two per class, if you have a visual aid it acts as a guide for the student to answer. Moreover, it helps to see the question written so the students can begin to understand question and answer patterns and less frequently mix up ‘Yes, I do. and Yes, I can. as well as Yes, it is. and Yes, I am.‘ These seem like easy responses but they are difficult for the first time learner.
The pictures help teach the meaning of each question. After a few months, I urge you to try to ask the question without the picture prompt to see if they can elicit a response from memory. Please Enjoy these Basic Questions for ALL LEVELS. All levels should know these but I like to ask these questions to preschool up to grade 2 and then review them very quickly with my older students. Just because your students are older, it doesn’t mean they remember ALL their basic questions so it’s a nice reminder. And please feel free to check out the other posts about all levels of printable question cards
