Eliciting
What
is
eliciting?
Eliciting
is
when
the
teacher
brings
out
student
knowledge,
suggestions
and
ideas.
You
can
do
this
by:
asking
questions
Encouraging
and
guiding
contributions.
By
eliciting,
you
can:
Find
useful
ways
of
setting
up
activities,
whether
they
are
roleplays,
games,
listening
tasks,
the
introduction
of
a
new
language
structure,
etc.
What
are
the
advantages
of
eliciting
?
By
eliciting
you:
q get
the
students
involved
and
interested;
q bring
relevant
information
to
the
front
of
their
minds;
q increase
the
amount
they
talk;
q help
students
take
responsibility
for
their
own
learning.
q give
members
of
a
class
the
necessary
and
motivating
feeling
of
being
encouraged
to
invest
part
of
themselves,
give
some
of
their
opinions
and
contribute
some
of
their
kowledge
so
what
happens
seems
to
depend
partly
on
the
students
themselves.
get
crucial
information
about
what
the
students
already
know
and
can
use
in
relation
to
the
language
you
are
focusing
on.
This
helps
you
to
avoid
teaching
what
they
already
know.
Eliciting
can
take
time
and
if
time
is
short
you
may
want
to
tell
the
students
and
quickly
check
they
understand.
You
cant
elicit
something
the
students
dont
know
in
the
first
place.
You
can
spend
ages
trying
to
elicit
language
which
is
just
not
there
this
leads
to
frustration
on
the
part
of
the
teacher
and
confusion
and
feelings
of
inadequacy
on
the
part
of
the
students.
There
is
a
danger
that
if
you
elicit
what
youre
looking
for
from
one
student
you
assume
(perhaps
mistakenly)
that
all
the
students
in
the
group
understand.
G. Describe a situation
H. Use a real object
I.
J. Give an example
K. Tell a story
L. Give examples of different types
