A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Distinguish One more time, please from One more, please, which usually requests another item. Use familiar words to demonstrate spelling versus pronunciation.
- Choose a phrase for a real listening difficulty: repetition, slower speech, louder speech or simpler wording.
- Practise an optional brief exchange about a word, asking for meaning, spelling or pronunciation as appropriate.
- Read selected classroom terms and connect past tense, present tense or continuous form to the examples.
Support and extension
For support, keep two useful requests visible. Extend by explaining why Could you say that more simply? suits a different problem from speaking louder. The page is a reference with no exercise/key; teach learners to request the kind of help they actually need.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
