 >>> My English Speaking Experts Club will be using the cultural duo approach for a rich learning experience >>>

Engage in a teaching conversation, make them a part of the learning process and give them the opportunity to talk about what they are learning, this will make them good givers of instructions when their time comes, you are setting an example.
Every conversation counts towards our reputation and personal brand, instructions are often their first impression of you.
Communication creates a connection and in a learning environment, there needs to be a dialogue between both the person giving and receiving instructions, so as to make it a personal, relevant and inspiring learning experience
Show them as often as is necessary, then get them to do it, following your instructions as written down. Your role is to observe.
Make sure you share why it is important to do something (in a certain way)
If you don’t understand why you are doing something, you have no purpose, so tell them why it matters, make it really clear.
Have some fun, be yourself, add some of your personality
Be vulnerable, share your mistakes and the implications of those mistake – plus the feelings
How did it affect other people involved in your mistake(s)?

The value of storytelling (mustard seeds tale)

Even temporary staff deserve well thought out, comprehensive instructions including a purpose and the why
Make people feel important and appreciated. Where do they fit into the process, why does it matter, why do THEY matter?
Low skill workers tend to have lower self esteem – you have an opportunity to influence that with a small win and assurance.
Repetitive skills are at a higher risk of mistakes and accidents, but these skills are often vital.
Effective instructions give people a chance to do well, to take pride in their work – that’s a motivational masterpiece
