Teachers are the most important person in the class to responsible for teaching students. It is very important that teachers should know about the result of what they did. They have to find out how their students understand their lesson by following the process bellow:

Some useful way the teacher can elicit knowledge from the students:

a. Start the new day's lesson by asking questions from the previous lesson
This will remind the students of what was done in the last lesson and set them in the mood for the day's lesson, so it should be introduced with question rather than teacher presentation.

b. After studying a text, ask definition question instead of explaining the word.
c. The teacher should always ask the students to contribute alternative language of their own - for example, another phrase which has the same functions, synonym or associated vocabulary items.
d. Students should be encouraged to provide some contents of a lesson.
