This study investigates the types of elicitation techniques used by an English teacher and how these techniques were implemented in teaching expressions of agreement to Grade 8 students at UPT SMP Negeri 17 Medan. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive design, data were obtained through classroom observations and teacher interviews. The findings indicate that the teacher applied five types of elicitation techniques as proposed by Doff (2013): asking questions, using pictures, texts/dialogues, games/activities, and non-verbal language. Among these, direct questioning and text/dialogue-based elicitation frequently, were mostly employed. These techniques were implemented systematically across the pre-teaching, whilst-teaching, and post-teaching stages to promote student participation, enhance interaction, and support comprehension. The study underscores the significance of varied elicitation techniques in fostering student-centered learning and improving students’ communicative competence.References
