MODULE 2 TEACHER’S PRESENCE IN THE CLASSROOM LESSON LESSON 33
Theme: Giving English instructions


Lead-in
Time: 10 min
►Procedure:

• 
  (10 min) Ask participants the following questions and elicit answers after each question:
  

~ What language do you use when giving instructions in English?
~ Why do you use a certain language in class when giving instructions?
~ Do you think it's important to use English in class as much as possible? Why/Why not?

• 
  Focus on the answers to the third question and briefly discuss the value of using English in class. Establish the following:
  

~ When the teacher uses English, students understand that the classroom is an English-speaking environment and thus are encouraged to use the language themselves.
~ If the teacher uses English most of the time, students practise listening and when they respond they very often go beyond ‘textbook English’, thereby using English for communication.
