This paper investigates the use of scaffolding questions in EFL reading classes. Questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from sixty-four teachers of English as a foreign language. The findings reported in this paper reveal how teachers utilized questioning to scaffold EFL learners’ comprehension of text at pre-reading stage and the reasons for their choices of question types in the classroom.
