    Unit 5: Giving

    Instructions
    Aim:
    To present the how to give
    simple and clear instructions
    and their importance.

    Discussion Questions!
    1. Why is it important for Ts to give clear
    instructions?
    2. Why is it important to give instructions in
    English?
    3- Should a teacher give instructions in Khmer?

    Possible Answers
    1- It is important for Ts to give clear instructions because Ss
    need to understand what to do.
    2- It is important to be in English because this gives Ss
    regular practice in hearing and understanding English.
    3- A T should always try to give instructions in English.
    However, if some Ss do not understand, the T can use
    English to ask one of the better Ss to repeat the instruction in
    Khmer.

    How can you give your


    clear instruction to
    students?

    1- Draw the students attention.


    2- Use simple language and short expressions
    3- Be consistent
    4- Use visual or written clues
    5- Break the instruction down
    6- Target your instruction
    7- Be decisive

    Draw the students attention.


    Make sure everyone is listening and

    watching.
    Dont give out any handouts, which may
    distract the students attention before
    you need to.

    Use simple language & short


    Expressions.
    Use language at lower level than the

    language being taught .


    Short instructions are entirely
    appropriate to this situation where the Ss
    accept your authority.

    Be consistent.
    Use the same set of words for the same

    instruction.
    Common instructions are: Everybody, All
    together, Again, Try again, Look ( at the
    picture), Listen, Repeat, Tell me, Stand
    up, Turn to page
    With beginners, spend time teaching
    them the language they need to follow
    instructions.
    8

    Use visual or Written clues.


    Support instruction with visual clues

    wherever possible: Real objects, Picture,


    gesture & mime.
    To give instructions written on cards or
    piece of paper that you have prepared.

    Break the instruction down.


    Give simple instructions in segments or

    parts and check understanding.


    Give only some of the instructions &
    allow time for them to carry out before
    moving on to the next step.

    10

    Target your instruction


    If instructions do not concern all students.
    Spend a bit more time giving instructions

    to who you should give.

    11

    Be Decisive.
    Use a signal, like the word Right or

    Listen.
    For example:
    1-Say something like Everyone Start !
    perhaps accompany by a downward
    hand gesture or a clap of your hands.
    2- T. shop assistants, hands up.
    Now customers, hands up.
    12

    How do you know that the


    instruction has been
    understood?

    13

    Conclusion
    1- Plan what you are going to say and when you
    are going to say it before the lesson
    2- Use simple English
    3- Use short sentences
    4- Give one instruction at a time
    5- Show the Ss what to do. Do not just tell them.
    6- Check the Ss understand the instruction
    7- Stand where every student can see and hear you.
