The aim of this study is to investigate the positive effect of giving effective instructions on students’ achievement. A great number of teachers, nowadays, are dissatisfied with their students’ low achievement in learning English in Morocco. They claim that students are not interested at all in the learning process. However, research in teaching foreign languages reveals that there is a kind of stumbling block in the way of grasping the teacher’s instructions. Regardless of how much effort teachers make, students do not understand their ambiguous instructions and thereby failing to do the activity at hand. This article attempts to explore three research questions: (1) Does the poor level of students at learning English have any relationship with the way teachers of English give instructions? (2) What is the teachers of English perception of the effect of instructions on teaching? And (3) are teachers of English familiar with what research has revealed in giving effective instructions? The results show that students achieve less not because things are too difficult to understand, but because the way teachers deliver their instructions is ineffective. Teachers really need update in how to effectively give instructions; otherwise, the teaching process will be doomed to failure.

Learning English

The teaching and learning of a specific language whether it's considered foreign or second, has changed throughoutthe years. It began to transfer from a setting where the teacher was the basic and the role model into a setting wherethe learner would become the center or the focus. If we take in consideration all of these findings, methods, andapproaches, in addition to the experiences which were created and further emphasized in an environment wherelearning will take place. Then this language would be used anywhere to create a sense of engagement. Particularly, incertain tasks which are of communicative nature while focusing on the interactive aspect. There had been a change inthe way foreign languages came to be taught. That is, from the way the foreign language would be specified to acertain approach where we would calculate the competence and the performance of a learner. This has led to a shiftfrom the tutor being the figure of authority, the specialized person, and the role model into the facilitator where hewould guide students in the learning process to bring about change. The enhancements of today's time tend to focuson social media in addition to the current research being carried out. Moreover, public pedagogy is also veryimportant and always creates a path towards constructing, bettering and increasing the level of competence of thelearner when acquiring a specific language.

The article touches upon the problems of teaching English as a third foreign language in higher educational institutions of the Republic of Armenia. The students’ mother tongue, in this case, is Armenian. Russian is the first foreign language and French is the second one. Considering the fact that the students’ 2nd (French) and 3rd (English) foreign languages have significant similarities that can cause both positive transfer and negative interference, the teaching/learning process of English should be organized by paying special attention to the similarities and taking into account certain peculiarities. Accordingly, the use of correctly selected exercises can help in organizing the teaching/learning process more quickly and effectively. The author also introduces some “dangerous” language phenomena that may bring about undesirable interference in learning English after French. In addition, a number of exercise samples are provided that might be used to develop the students’ lexical, grammatical and phonological competences in teaching/learning English as a third foreign language.
