um
Would agree with the approach of a google for closed/open questions and reword your sentence to best fit what you find. Lots of examples from a survey perspective, but I don’t have experience in a teaching/coaching environment. |

^ That's my background, um. Only when I started 'training teachers' did I discover how rich in theory education is!

This guide to questioning strategy was written by a tutor at an English-teaching school in Dubai. A downside: not many references but the content makes good sense. sites.google.com Here's the school's introductory page: thewinchesterschool.com From my work with ESOL and EFL teachers, Gulf State schools set standards equal to those in the UK. |

I have eventually found this. interpnet.com It might not be perfect but at least it compares both open and closed questions so I have a reference at least. |

When deciding what sort of questioning to use, number of students or participants, range of attainment and where questioning features in the 'flow' of the lesson/input are useful to bear in mind. Open questions can and do give a jumping off point for either spontaneous or structured exploration or discussion - these can be a gold mine for assessment for and of learning. In addition, this can relieve the 'teacher-to-student' pressure - and the peer pressure - of a question being put. |
