What does a CCQ mean?

A concept checking question is a question designed to help the teacher check students’ understanding of a language item (grammar structure, vocabulary, fixed expression). “Do you understand?”, “Is that clear?”, “We all know that, right?” or “OK?” should be absolute taboos.

When to ask CCQs?

Every time you explain new material or need to check whether students know what you are talking about. CCQs are particularly useful after guided practice and at the end of the lesson as a review.

How to ask CCQs?

There are some simple rules that can help you create good CCQs and use them effectively:

1. CCQs should be easy to understand, use simple language in CCQs.

2. Don’t use the target language in CCQs;

E.g. I’ll meet her tomorrow.

Bad CCQ: Will I meet her next week?

3. Don’t use new vocabulary in CCQs;

4. Plan CCQs in advance;

5. Ask at least 2 CCQs to cover all of the important aspects of the target language;

6. CCQs should check the meaning of the target language, not of the situation.

E.g. She’s been in bed all day.

Bad CCQ: Is she sick?

7. Some of the most efficient CCQs are yes/no questions along with either/or questions; simple Wh-questions and true/false statements. My TEFL. Concept Checking Questions (CCQs).

For many decades the predominant method of language instruction was the grammar-translation method. This method is rooted in the teaching of the nineteenth century and was widely used for the first half (in some parts of the world even longer) of the last century to teach modern foreign languages (Richards and Rodgers 2001). [...] The Grammar-translation Method was not without its opponents, and the demand for oral proficiency led to several counter and parallel movements that laid the foundation for the development of new ways of teaching, as we still know them today. One such method is the Direct Method, sometimes also referred to as the Berlitz Method as it was widely used in Berlitz schools. Some reformers of the nineteenth century (e.g., Gouin and Sauveur) believed that languages should be taught in a natural way, that is, how children learn language. As Richards and Rodgers (2001) point out, believers in the Natural Method argued that a foreign language could be taught without translation or the use of the learner's native language if meaning was conveyed directly through demonstration and action (p. 11). For this reason, they also strongly promoted the spontaneous use of language.
