Don't forget directions for assignments
Write 3/4/5 paragraphs about...
Fill in the blank.
Underline. etc.
I work mainly with elementary students, but all studnets need to know how the teachers want them to do their work.

Very useful for beginners, and not just for the classroom:

Could I. . . ?
Could you. . .?

Here's what I always teach right away:

1. I don't understand.
2. Can you repeat that please?

in addition if the student is intermediate or adanced, I might teach:

3. How do you say_____ in English?
4. How do you pronouce _________?
5. What does ___________ mean?
