During your ELT session pick a student and ask him/her to read the instructions for your activities for that particular session.

Try to give the students each an English-English dictionary.
Make sure they know how to use it. If not, teach them how.
Encourage them to refer to their dictionary whenever appropriate during the lesson, though they should try to guess the meaning from the context first where possible.
In the classroom as well outside the class, Dictionaries make students more independent – not relying on the teacher the whole time – and more able to study outside the classroom, at home, or whatever, and to continue studying after the course has finished.
Also this helps them enrich their vocabulary slowly and gradually.

- Award the student who posts best comment keeping language and its importance in view
- Invite student articles to be posted on the blog and also ask other students and teachers to read those articles and offer their feedback

Tell the students to read the whole exercise before writing anything. (This will be difficult for some students to do).
Once they’ve read it all, let them begin doing the exercise.
It is a good idea to read the whole exercise before starting to write anything because sometimes more than one answer is possible but, in the exercise the students are doing, only one answer is the right one.
This will also enable the students to answer the questions they know the answer to and guess the rest.

When your students have finished doing an activity on their own, put them in pairs or in groups and ask them to check their answers together.
Tell the students that if the answers are the same, they are probably correct but if they are different they need to explain/justify their choice of answer to their partner – in English! They can change their answers if they like.
