The purpose of this study was to examine question types, forms, functions and strategies employed by Indonesian English teachers in classroom interactions. Four Indonesian teachers were observed, audio-recorded and analysed following the principle of Conservation Analysis (CA). The analysis revealed a correspondence between the forms and functions of questions. Meanwhile, the use of a particular pragmatic strategy was beneficial to invite students' responses which subsequently managed the flow of conservation. As one of the defining characteristics of an effective English teacher is his or her ability to use language both pedagogically and pragmatically, this study can provide practical insights into how questioning can be developed as a communicative act. © 2020 Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
