It sounds simple but it’s really not that easy. In my opinion, it depends solely on the person on the receiving end most of the time, and rarely on the sender’s part.
More often than not, people find it very difficult to follow instructions depending on their intellect as well as the language that it’s conveyed in. If, for example, a professor introduces a new chapter to his students or assigns a task or project to them using jargon, it will be close to impossible to interpret those instructions and they might not be able to deliver what is expected of them.
Another way of looking at it is the language barrier. Sometimes people from different racial backgrounds receive instructions in English and, even though they can speak it, it’s not always easy to untangle those out-of-the-ordinary words of our International Language and one needs to, in turn, break them down a bit. It’s also the job of the instructor to make these instructions simpler for the receiver to avoid any miscommunication as well as misunderstandings. PeaceJ
