I teach in Dubai where for more than 60% of my students, English is a second language. The curriculum we teach is from Australia and in my feedback about the way the courses are written, I have raised the issue a number of times. The language needs to be transparent in unit guides. One way some instructors have dealt with this is by writing a simplified second set of instructions as a checklist that still maps to the outcomes of the assessment. We keep the checklist statements short and spaced out on the page. Also, if it is possible to use visual examples, students relate to pictures and illustrations easier.
