What you will learn
This TEFL Webinar ELT Masterclass centres on delivering clear and effective classroom instructions, discussing common pitfalls, solutions, tips for success, and a framework for structuring instructions. Teachers should be aware of potential issues such as speaking too quickly, using complex language, neglecting to check for understanding, and failing to demonstrate activities. To avoid these pitfalls, they must speak slowly, use simple language, and demonstrate activities when needed.
To boost confidence, teachers can practice giving instructions and prepare in advance. Comprehensive understanding of activities and preparing step-by-step instructions using clear language will prove beneficial. Teachers are urged to share their strategies for giving effective instructions and explore additional resources on the Gallery Teachers website for ongoing professional development.
By adhering to these guidelines and being mindful of common pitfalls, teachers can enhance their ability to provide clear instructions, resulting in better student engagement, increased comprehension of activities, and an overall more positive learning experience for all parties involved.
