This study examines how teachers' questioning behaviours impact student engagement and participation in Omani EFL classrooms. Using survey data from 100 college students, the research explores students’ perceptions of different questioning techniques and their influence on classroom interaction. Findings highlight key factors such as wait time, clarity of questions, use of student names, and question formats. These behaviours encompass aspects such as allowing adequate wait time, clarifying questions, addressing students by their names, and employing effective question formats. Overall, this research contributes to the existing body of knowledge regarding the role of teachers' questions in fostering active student engagement, thereby improving the overall educational experience.
