2 Quick Ways to Improve your English – FOR EXAMPLE & SAME

Your videos are always good, but I feel uncomfortable when I watch them. I have goosebumps because of the sound which you make while writing something on the board. Can you write more softly or do something to remove that sound?

Thank you a lot!

Mr. James
I saw your video and I was trying to follow you instructions on how to write an essay. I write an essay on how to give instructions. Can you please give me a hand and give me your opinion. It would help me a lot. Thank you,

Giving instructions should be clear, well organized, plan ahead and be fallow with a concept check questions.

Giving clear instructions will help students to understand better the given instructions. In some cases some words may mean something else but when they are spoken those might translate with a different context and send a different message. For example, I remembering in one of my ESL classes I was teaching five year old kids and I gave instructions to my students. Today we going to color in a piece of paper, using only color pencils. The instructions were as follow, “first, start by color in the top part of the paper, after we finish color in the paper we can take a break and play a game”. For a moment I thought they understood my message and my instructions but the sad reality was that they were clueless, they did not understand my instructions. Right away I notice the look on their faces. Number one, my instructions were to long for a five year old kid, tow, there were too many words for them to understand. The concept of the word first, start, top, take a break and play a game” will not only were too many words but also too many concepts for a five year old to understand. The problem was that students wouldn’t be able to follow through successfully. So in this case the concepts of each word was important to understand so the students could follow instructions. In another case a student was confused by the word tree and three, the student thought we were talking about the number three but in reality we were talking about trees. In that particular case I have to stop the class show a picture of a tree and a picture of the number three so the students could have a clear picture of the topic. When giving instructions especially to kids it’s very important to speak slow, be as much clear as possible and be prepared with materials for the day’s topic.

Instructions should be plan ahead so there are no surprises or mistakes at time they are given. For example if one is going to talk about singular and plural and you want to use samples during the class, you may want to prepare your materials before going to class, it is also important to keep in mind that practicing with your materials before using them, is as important as prepare them to be use for your presentation. Instructions should always be well organised to avoid mistakes, confusion and chaos. The better you have your materials and your class plan organised the better and more successful your teaching will be.

After giving instructions it is also important to find out if the students understand your instructions. Most of the time the students will show whether or not they understand their given instructions. On the other hand this will not always apply because some students may not show it right away and be shy and will not say anything. Keep in mind that the questions “do you understand?” or “ok” are unlikely to receive a truthful answer from the learners and will not aim the student or teacher’s goal. It is alwas best to use simple questions that require simple yes or no answer, for example in the color in the paper exercise, I ask the students to tell me if their table classmate had finish color in the paper, so in this case they were able to answer yes or no to my question. I also ask “what color is this?” so the students would have to unswer a simple red, yellow, green etc.

In conclusion giving clear, organized and well plan instructions will allow your students to go on with their activities and begin the tasks efficiently with less mistakes and a better understanding. At the same time it will increase the productibility of the class and will keep student’s interest for learning.

great lesson!
Sometimes I don’t manage to follow your beautiful irony when you often jokes with funny sentences to underline a particular concept. So if it’s possible,could you explain every time the meaning of funny phrase?
Thank you so much!

A little difficult to bear in mind but I have got to understand the meanings of the lesson, so when you understand the topic you should give example of it, showing the terms “for instance” or “to illustrate”, and, of course, proving with the terms “case in point” or “to prove my point” the topic, but when you use SAME, then you can add with “similar to”, “it looks like” or “Do they have the same meaning?”, besides the term “it seems…” obviously for things, and also you can express subtraction with questions as “How are they different?”, “When are they different?” and “How do they differ?”, easy to learn. As always a good performance and explanation. Thanks a lot, teacher James from Engvid.
