This blog has been set up specifically to enable students on the English for Industrial Engineers course at Högskolan i Kalmar in the Spring Term of 2006 to post their good and bad instructions for Task 2.

I was born in Sheffield in England, but moved to London when I was 12. I've been teaching more or less since I graduated from Teachers' Training College in 1976, though I've taken time-out a couple of times (for example, to be West London Area Manager of one of the biggest office cleaning companies in the UK). I've worked in quite a few countries, such as Angola, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Trinidad and Tobago and Turkey.

Comments on Sofia Danielsson,
Plus:
After reading this instruction i have to say that it is well written. The good chronological order and a good stucture make the instruction easy to read and follow. The language is easy and the steps are just enough for the reader to understand what to do next. This will reduce the risk for misunderstanding.
Minus:
But there are some things that still are difficult to understand for me as a reader. For example the headline of the instruction does not give me any information about what kind of the test it is, and this is very important when you want to arouse the readers interest. At number four the information that is in the brackets can create confusion, if you want to give this information to the reader then you must explain more about the procedure. But personally I must say that one can skip that, because of the fact that it does not fill any function for this instruction. The same thing is on number six when you try to explain for the user about the downloading process. It is better to try to avoid such thing in a instruction. The last sentence in number ten is more like a informative kind not instructive.
