Question Families

Question Families helps learners develop the ability to ask natural questions and use them to keep conversations moving.

It begins with simple questions and gradually develops into questions about daily life, people, experiences, preferences, reasons, feelings, opinions, choices, plans, memories and possibilities.

The book also develops follow-up questions, questions for more detail, clarification, checking understanding, returning to earlier topics and inviting longer answers.

A central idea is that good questions do not need to be clever or unusual. They often grow from careful listening to what the other person has already said.
