English Language Teaching (ELT) has traditionally focused on the description and teaching of the written language, often to the neglect of the spoken language. Now developments in corpora of spoken language, and findings from discourse analysis of naturally occurring talk, enable English Language teachers to describe and present features of interactive speaking. One pervasive aspect of interactive speaking has to do with questioning routines. This article focuses on question-response sequences in academic and work settings, and examines the type of description of questioning conventionally offered in published E L T materials for higher-level learners, critically evaluating and relating it to samples of authentic interaction. It is argued that text-focused description and instruction offers a way of opening up talk, such as questioning, to higher-level learners, and of showing features of interactive spoken discourse neglected by conventional approaches.
