The aims of the study were to investigate English teachers’ questioning strategies at one Madrasah in Palembang, South Sumatera. The qualitative research method with a case study approach was employed to look at the ways of the English teachers’ questioning strategies in the processes of teaching and learning and the reasons that made them use certain questioning strategies. The participants in this study were English teachers. We used observation and interviews as our data collection techniques. The observation was used to look at the teacher’s questioning types used in the daily practices of teaching in the EFL classroom while the interview was used to understand the reasons that made them use those types of questioning strategies. Our findings showed three types of teacher’s questioning strategies used by teachers in their teaching and learning processes including convergent, divergent, and procedural questions. Teachers mostly used convergent questions (yes/no and short answers). We also found five reasons why teachers preferred to those types of questioning strategies including recalling students’ understanding, attracting students’ attention, increasing students’ thinking in higher order level, and engaging students in learning activities. Implications and recommendations are also discussed.

The nahwu rules that have been studied and known so far do not necessarily exist and have previously been available, but this is the result of the hard work of linguists using a variety of methods in it. This study aims to reveal the bases used by linguists in the formulation and standardization of nahwu rules. The type of method used in this study is a qualitative research method using a library research approach. Based on the analysis of the literature study, the linguists use four main bases in formulating the rules of nahwu, including the samā’ or naql, ijmā', qiyās and istiṣḥāb. Samā ' has three main foundations in the form of definite arguments in building nahwu rules, al-Qurān, the hadīth, and the words of the Arabs, both in the form of verse and prose. Ijmā’ is an agreement of language scholars in compiling nahwu rules. Qiyās is the largest argument used by linguists in making rules and for solving linguistic problems that arise. The last is the istiṣḥāb; although it is the weakest foundation compared to the others, it is still used in determining the nahwu rules. Knowing these all aspects will give many benefits in teaching and learning Arabic.

Pretendemos discutir algumas posturas básicas da Pesquisa Qualitativa quando a utilizamos em investigações referentes ao ensino e à aprendizagem. Em primeiro lugar, contrastamos educação à Pedagogia, esclarecendo que aquela se refere ao conjunto de cosmovisões passadas de uma geração à outra, enquanto essa se aproxima mais de uma arte que visa transformar em ato uma transposição do conhecimento, posteriormente desdobrando-se naqueles saberes sobre ensino e aprendizagem. Em segundo lugar, assinalamos que, por ser tratarem de arte, quando o ensino e a aprendizagem se tornam objeto de estudo, suas realidades são limitadas e particulares, impedindo qualquer universalização de método e metodologia. Daí se percebe a importância que a Pesquisa Qualitativa adquire quando efetuada. No entanto, sua escolha envolve um princípio e algumas posturas do pesquisador, a fim de fazer valer as características que a Pesquisa Qualitativa possui de melhor.Palavras-chave: Pesquisa Qualitativa.

For this, in the first place we contrast education with Pedagogy, clarifying that education refers to the set of worldviews passed from one generation to the other, as Pedagogy approaches more of an art that aims at transforming in act a transposition of knowledge that unfolds in those knowledge about teaching and learning. Second, we point out that, because they are art, when teaching and learning become objects of study, their realities are limited and particular, preventing any universalization of method and methodology. From this we can see the importance that Qualitative Research acquires when we operate it. However, its choice involves a principle and some postures of the researcher, in order to assert the characteristics that Qualitative Research has the best.Keywords: Qualitative research. Education.
