The problem is JJM, if you ask a regular student to provide you with more context regarding a question he/she asks, he/she will tend to reply with more
situational context. Very few
ESL students would just provide you with more "words". So, it is the common understanding of "context" that is at fault.
Just watch this forum for a while and see how students, and many native speakers, respond when asked to provide more context.
