Pick: Pick on a learner by name to answer the question. Do not always pick on the first learner that raised his hand. Remember to ask the question first and then call the student by name after.

Expound and Explain the learner's answer. Generate a dialog based on the learner's response. If the learner's response was incorrect, redirect the question back to the other learners. "That's an interesting response, but not the one I was looking for. Student B, can you help expand on this answer."

13. Questioning Techniques “APPLE”
Listen: Listen to the answer, make eye contact with the learner, provide effect words* when the answer is provided. Mix your effect words, nothing sounds more phony than an instructor that always says "very good" whenever a learner answers a question.
