Other Tips• Obtain an outline of the lecture• Emphasize key points. Stressing key words,
writing on the board, repeating yourself with emphasis, etc.
• Use visuals. Diagrams and images can help comprehension
• Write down critical vocabulary. Especially helpful for names students need for future reference.
• Be patient.

• Ask questions clearly. Try to avoid the stereotypical “foreigner talk”—excessively slow and loud speech. Just be aware that it can be difficult to understand rapid, idiomatic speech. Slow down.
• Be understanding. Some students will be very self-conscious about their imperfect English. They may be frustrated and concerned that their peers will think they’re less intelligent if they don’t speak perfect English.
• Be supportive. Positive reinforcement is critical.
