*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 pageWith beginners, spend time teaching them the language they need to follow instructions.

*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.

Target your instruction If instructions do not concern all students. Spend a bit more time giving instructions to who you should give.*

*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.
