中文摘要：作为新时代不可或缺的国际语言，英语已经得到了广泛的传播，英语教学也越来越普及。小学是学生第一次真正接触和学习英语的重要阶段，所以小学课堂的英语教学显得尤为重要。小学英语的教学中，提问是一个非常重要的手段，是课堂教学师生双边活动最基本的形式之一。合理有效的课堂提问，能使学生积极地思考问题，使他们更深入地了解问题并且更好地激发学生探究知识的欲望，培养和训练学生分析和解决问题的能力，也能有效提高英语课堂的效率。然而我国目前的小学英语教学提问现状并没有想象中那么优质有效，提问的过程和问题的本身都存在着一些问题。本文通过列举小学英语教学中的提问现状，总结概括了课堂提问的普遍问题，并且结合实际分析了问题产生的原因，采用举例的方法重点探究如何在小学英语课堂中进行有效提问，从而提高教学效率。
