The purpose of this study is to find practical strategies to make instructions comprehensible in the Communicative Language Teaching(CLT) class. CLT emphasizes the role of the interactions between students in the process of completing many different tasks. Task complexity and difficulty are the main factors in giving comprehensible instructions. Based upon relevant research, six different techniques are identified to lower the complexity and difficulty of tasks. These strategies were tested in the CLT English class with six regular students. Transcriptions from audio/video recordings and data from field notes and an interview were qualitatively analyzed to determine whether or not those techniques were effective. The results show that adapting task complexity and difficulty appears to be helpful in making instructions comprehensible.
