WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR INSTRUCTIONS
ARE NOT CLEAR ?

Students are distracted from the language point they’re
supposed to be practicing.

The inherent enjoyment in any good task activity will be
ruined if the task doesn’t proceed smoothly.

A lot of time is wasted ( i.e. stopping the activity : reexplaining ). Spending a little time on making things
clear beforehand saves a lot of time in the long run.

If an activity “fails”, the students will lose confidence
both in themselves and in you as a teacher.
