CCQs

Concept Checking questions

normally achieved by the use of a set of questions designed to ensure comprehension of the target language, raise awareness of its problems, and to indicate to the teacher that the learners have fully understood

WHY CCQs

Questions like these allow teachers and students to confirm that the lesson is understood.

CCQs for teaching can be used any time a teacher wants to ask, “Do you understand?”

The Golden Rules for using CCQs

1.Plan CCQs in advance.

2. Ask questions that are simple.

3. Use several styles of CCQs.

4. Consider vocabulary usage.

5. Use media and mix it up.

CCQs types

• Yes/no questions. 'Is a bed-sit a room?', 'Are there other rooms in the house?', 'Can you sleep in it?'.

• 50/50 chance questions. 'Is it a room or a building?', 'Is it cheap or expensive?', 'Do you buy it or pay money every week or month?‘

• Information questions. 'Who lives in it?', 'How many people live in it?‘

• Discrimination questions. 'Do you only sleep in it?', 'Can you cook a meal in it?', 'Is it the same as a flat?‘

• Shared experience questions. 'Is there a bed-sit in this building?‘

• Life experience/culture questions. 'Have you ever lived in a bed-sit?' 'Are there bed-sits in your city/country?‘
