Abstract:
It is explicitly stated that, in General Senior High School English Curriculum Standards (2017 Edition Revised in 2020), the English curriculum for general senior high school should further promote the development of the English subject core competencies, including thinking quality, based on compulsory education. This points out the development direction for English education and also brings challenges. Senior English reading, which carries rich cultural connotations, has an outstanding advantage in cultivating students' thinking quality. Classroom questioning, as an important way of teacher-student interaction, is a concrete and operable way to develop students' thinking quality. However, at present, teachers generally neglect the development of students' thinking quality in classroom questioning. Based on Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives theory and constructivist learning theory, this study analyzes the research status of thinking quality and classroom questioning at home and abroad by adopting the literature research method. It puts forward a series of classroom questioning strategies to cultivate thinking quality.
