5.7. Eliciting
Eliciting was a technique that was used a total of 20% in lesson observations. This strategy helps a
teacher to bring forward student’s ideas and extend and sustain discussion which Fisher (2005)
considers to be an important function of a teacher. Conversations that extend past a single exchange
may help a learner’s language development as it could provide a more realistic model of how an
authentic conversation occurs (Wells, 1986). This kind of discussion might also help to reveal to a
teacher ‘... the framework the children are using to interpret new information’ (Wells, 1986, p. 115)
and might possibly provide children with some of the language and ideas they will need to complete
subsequent activities.
