Classroom instructions refers to the types of language teachers use to organize or guide learning. They include giving directions to tasks or activities, providing explanations to a concept of language structure, setting requirements, checking comprehension, drawing attention, motivating learners, giving feedback, and assigning homework, etc. There are rules to follow for making instructions effective: 1) to use simple instructions and make them suit the comprehension level of the students. 2) To use the mother tongue only when it is necessary. 3) Teachers to be careful not to do all the talking in class. 3. Bloom’s taxonomy classifies the question types into six. What are the six question types? What is the significance if each of them is used in a language classroom?
The six question types proposed by Bloom are: 1) Knowledge: recalling facts, terms, and basic concepts. 2) Comprehension: understanding of facts and ideas by organizing, comparing, translating, interpreting, and stating the main ideas. 3) Application: applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different context 4) Analysis: identifying relationships, causes or motive, and finding evidence to support main ideas. 5) Synthesis: combining elements in a different way and proposing alternative solutions, creative thinking. 6) Evaluation: present and defend opinions by making an informed judgement

about information or ideas based on a set of criteria. 4. Classification of question types:(常出选择及判断题)
Closed questions refer to those with only one single correct answer. Open questions may invite many different answers. Display questions are those that the answers are already known to the teacher and they are used for checking if students know the answers,too. Genuine questions are questions which are used to find out new information and since they often reflect real contexts, they are therefore more communicative. Lower-ordered questions refers to those that simplely require recalling of information or memorization of facts. Higher-ordered questions require more reasoning, analysis, and evaluation. 5. Differences between errors and mistakes.
A mistake refers to a performance error that is either a random guess or a ‘slip of tongue’, it is a failure performance to a known system. A mistake has nothing to do with the language competence, but a result from temporary breakdown. When a mistake is challenged or given enough attention, it could be self-corrected. An error has direct relation with the learners’ language competence. Errors do not result from carelessness nor hesitation, but lack of knowledge in the target language. Language errors cannot be self-corrected no matter how much attention is given. 6. Discipline refers to a code of conduct which binds a teacher and a group of students together so that learning can be more effective Factors that affect discipline： 1. teacher’s behavior
a . choice of methodology
b. teacher’s preparation for the learners
c. interpersonal relationship with the learners 2. motivation/ purpose/ desire/ surrounding
