    This teaching tip recommends having students read instructions for activities aloud to the class. It saves the teacher time, allows them to check pronunciation, and helps ensure all students understand and finish at the same time. While getting students to read aloud was once unpopular, it is now considered useful as people often read things aloud to each other in real life situations.

    How:
    1.
    2.

    Pick a student and ask him/her to read the instructions for Activity 1/2/3 or whatever.
    Marco, please read the instructions for Activity 2 for us.
    Pick a different student each time.

    Why:
    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.
    5.

    It saves you doing it.


    You can check pronunciation.
    The other students may well understand the instructions better when read by another student.
    The students are more likely to listen to another student than to you.
    If they all read the instructions silently they will all finish at different times. If they listen to someone
    reading the instructions out loud they all finish at the same time.

    Extra Info:
    Getting students to read aloud used to be unpopular because the powers that be said that it was
    unrealistic as we never do it in real life - you read books silently, dont you? Things have changed
    since then as it has since been argued that we do do it, e.g. hey, listen to this, it says in the paper
    here that Prince Charles is already, secretly, married to Camilla! Listen - Prince Charles allegedly
    married Camilla Parker Bowles in a secret ceremony at Windsor Castle yesterday. The
    ceremony was attended only by the princes closest family and friends. A palace spokesman
    denied the rumour, saying that.............. etc.
