[115] : How are you today? [145] : How was your holiday?
Case [115] and [145] are almost done by all the participants in Micro Teaching class. In case [115], they use this form of sentence to open the class. This question
is categorized as procedural questions because the teachers do not seek for students’ high-critical thinking response or students’ knowledge but rather to
check students’ condition before starting the class. Case [145] has almost the same function as in [115] which is only to start the class. If in the [115] the teacher asks
the students’ condition, in [145] the teacher creates a good atmosphere with the students by asking about their previous activities.
Another procedural questions found in Micro Teaching Class is when the teachers check students’ understanding by stating some questions in the following
case. [123] : Is it understood?
[179] : Who is still confused with this topic? [255] : So far, any questions?
Those three questions are all used as the classroom procedure after explaining materials. By stating one of those questions types, the teachers make sure that all
the students understand the materials that have been explained. Teachers state the question before continue on to a different session of learning process such as
doing task or explaining another part of lesson material. Asking the students’ willingness to do something in the class is also
