5. Instructions and explanations: activities that
are not in the course book
• Make sure you provide this:
• What they have to do: listen, write, read…? What they do with the
information they collected: answer questions, fill in the blanks,
etc.
• There must be visible evidence of this
• How are they going to do the activity? Individually, pairs, groups?
• How much time do they have to do the activity?

6. Instructions and explanations: activities that
are in the course book
• Remind students what the outcome of the lesson is and how they need to
do the activity to help them do the task. Write the task and page on the
board.
• Ask for volunteers to read the instruction (individuals)
• Check understanding by asking What do you have to do? How are you
going to do it? Individually, in pairs, in groups, etc.? Ask a specific
student
• Think Pair Share technique
Time management
7. Additional issues for instructions and
interactions (pair work, group work)
• Pair work: for practicing dialogues, role-playing. For comparing
answers before sharing with the class.
• Group work: for discussing and reaching a conclusion or expressing
an opinion (one representative/ spokes person).
• Important: give instructions of the activity before forming the
groups.
• Use different techniques to form groups
