USING ENGLISH EFFECTIVELY FOR GIVING INSTRUCTION IN THE CLASSROOM
Abstract
This article provides recommendations for effective use of English in the classroom, particularly when giving assignments to students. Making explanations and assignments in English clear and simple will help students complete them correctly. The article discusses the importance of using simple and short sentences instead of complex words and sentence structures, explaining with the help of visual materials and gestures, as well as the importance of repetition and checking for understanding. All of these things simplify and make the process of learning a language in the classroom more effective.
