Helping Non Native Students Understand What You Say 5:
Increasing wait time will give students a chance to process what they have heard and formulate answers in their mind. It is particularly helpful to repeat or rephrase questions that are in complex syntax or require more than simple answers. If the same type of question is going to be asked, asking native speakers first will give non native speakers more time to process and will also provide an example of what is expected, which in turn will boost confidence.
