Effective Elicitation – It’s All About the Questions

Webinar date: January 2026
Presenter: Khanh-Duc Kuttig

This webinar explores the power of effective elicitation in the language classroom. By looking at different question types, we discovered how asking, rather than telling, leads to meaningful learning.

This webinar explored:

• different types of questions to activate prior knowledge and elicit target language
• strategies to balance open and closed questioning to scaffold learning effectively
• appropriate responses to learner answers in ways that may extend communication and reinforce accuracy
