Module 1 Activity 11 Encouraging learners to ask questions

It becomes common place for teachers to ask questions and get responses from the students but seldom do teachers encourage students to ask questions.  Teachers limit the involvement of students in this area as they (the teachers) do not want to be caught off guard not knowing the answers to the questions asked.  Encouraging students to ask questions will provide them with information and a deeper understanding of the issues.  The answers given encourage them to think critically and analytically.  It even helps if the teachers allow students to ask questions among themselves.
