Effective questioning can not only help teachers teach better, but also promote students’ learning. Based on humanistic psychology and affective filtering hypothesis, this paper studies the influence of teachers’ questioning behavior on English classroom anxiety of senior high school students, and puts forward some suggestions to help teachers teaching and students learn.
