| Summary: | As one of the first attempts to investigate giving and checking
instructions skills among fourth-year students during their practicum at
college levels, the paper aims at exploring teacher trainees‟ perception of
effective instructions and the level of effectiveness with respect to time,
speech modification and techniques. To fulfill this primary aim, both
qualitative and quantitative methods with three research instruments
including observations, questionnaires and interviews were adopted. The
participants of the study were 25 fourth-year students of Fast-Track
Program and nine supervising teachers from English Division I, at the
Faculty of English Language Teacher Education, University of
Languages and International Studies, Vietnam National University. The
most significant finding of the research was that the language for
instructions was the most problematic issue among the trainee teachers.
Other difficulties included time and techniques for giving instructions as
well as checking students‟ understanding. The paper, therefore, would
serve as a good reference for both pre-service and in-service teachers who
desire to have a closer look at this issue or to improve their giving and
checking instructions skills. |
