Eliciting (elicitation) is term which describes a range of techniques which enable the teacher to get learners to provide information rather than giving it to them. Commonly, eliciting is used to ask learners to come up with vocabulary and language forms and rules, and to brainstorm a topic at the start of a skills lesson.
By highlighting student thinking and misconceptions, and eliciting information from more students, all teachers can collect more representative evidence and can therefore better plan instruction based on the current understanding of the entire class.
