A Study on the Effectiveness of Core Competence-based Questioning in English Reading Lesson in Junior High School

Abstract

The effectiveness of core competence-based questioning in junior middle school English reading lessons is a critical issue in modern English education. This study investigates how the integration of core competencies into classroom questioning strategies impacts students’ learning outcomes and engagement. Through a mixed-methods approach, including classroom observations, teacher interviews, and student performance assessments, the research explores the relationship between questioning techniques and student comprehension. The findings indicate that core competence-based questioning significantly enhances students' critical thinking, language application, and overall reading proficiency. The study also highlights the importance of teacher training and curriculum design in maximizing the effectiveness of this approach. These insights contribute to the development of more student-centered and competency-oriented English teaching practices in junior middle school settings.
