Does teacher questioning strategy have the positive effect of improving students’ self-instruction in English learning? Does students’ cooperative learning help foster students’ self-instruction in English learning? Does the 5-minute English talk show in class cultivate students’ self-instruction ability? The research findings show that the teacher questioning strategy, the student’s cooperating learning strategy and the five-minute talk show in class can help the teacher-dependent students improve their self-instruction in English learning. |
