Abstract

This research was carried due to the lack of students’ critical thinking at English department on speaking. Answering questions were approximately found more popular than asking questions. Socratic questioning is a method of learning with the conversation or debate confronted with a series of questions. The research used descriptive qualitative design by collecting the documents, observation and interview data. Then the data was analyzed by using qualitative data analysis with Miles and Huberman data analysis by covering data collection, data display and conclusion drawing/verification. The result showed that the appearance of Socratic Question varied from the easiest to the most difficult. Percentage of the result showed that ten point five percent belonged to clarification, twenty one percent belonged to assumption, twenty five point five percent belonged to reason and evidence thirty one point five percent belonged to viewpoints, twenty five point five percent for implication and consequences, and ten point five percent for questions to question. The interview data from the lecturer showed that Socratic Questioning method could improve not only students’ speaking skill but also their critical thinking even though some obstacles faced during teaching and learning process such as; self-confidence problem, the lack of grammar and vocabularies, lack for knowledge background relating to the material, data, fact and evidence.
