Abstract
The Question Formula Technique(QFT) enables, based on Rothstein & Santana (2015), learners to conceptualize and express their convergent, divergent and meta-cognitive thinking skills. The QFT consists of seven key steps:1) introducing the Question Focus, 2) explaining the QFT rules, 3) learners produce questions, 4) improving questions, 5) prioritizing questions, 6) active use of the prioritized questions, 7) reflection of the learning process. This paper discusses the QFT method when used in Japanese reading class. Research results showed that learners can archive more when having a clear task for their reading, can understand the text more deeply when having a clear goal in their reading and can strongly improve their reading predictions skills.
