Questioning Skills should be Improved In responding to the questioning skills, there were two skills that are probing and guiding and variation of questioning techniques also should be improved by 20 of respondents. The 20 of respondents have not guided the students well in answering the questions. Moreover, the other 20 of respondents still needed to find some techniques in asking students. For example the first respondent directly mentioned the student’s name to answer the question. She did not produce other technique. In this case, the other students who wanted to be volunteers would be disappointed and would not be motivated to follow the classroom activity anymore. While the sixth respondent only used a technique that was “asking for the whole class”. When a student answered her question, she let 46 the others to make noise. She was also hastily in discussing the exercises and she did not make sure that every student had already understood to the topic or not. Furthermore, there were 10 of respondents who should improve the clarity of question skill and distributing question skill. For example, the fourth respondent did not maintain good clarification toward the question answer, she directly moved on to the next discussion without explaining and clarifying the answer from the question given. Thus, the students would think that the answer was already correct although they have not known whether it was correct or not. Moreover, the first respondent had poor distributing question skill since she only used a technique that was directly mentioning the name of the students to discuss the question. It was poor because she did not let the student to show their participation maximally. So there was no competition in the class which could create boringness.
