Tanári instrukció az országismereti feladathoz:

• A letölthető feladatlapok fő előnye, hogy nem szükséges, sőt pedagógiailag nem is ajánlott minden esetben a teljes, 50 kérdéses kvízt használni. Az anyagot adaptálni óhajtó kolléga maga dönti el, hogy a letöltött dokumentum mely kérdéseit kívánja egy adott tanulási helyzetben használni. Ideálisnak egyszerre 10-15 kérdés felhasználása tűnik célszerűnek.
• Ebben az országismereti kvízben a tanulók elsősorban az angol nyelvtanulás során szerzett civilizációs és kulturális ismereteiket bővíthetik, ellenőrizhetik.
• A téma számos területet ölel fel, úgymint: irodalom, történelem, zene, sport, étkezési szokások, filmek, országismeret stb.
• Az első 25 kérdés általában egyszerűbb, majd az utolsó 25 kissé komplexebb tudást igényel.
• A feladatsor elsősorban gimnáziumi haladó, illetve középhaladó csoportoknak ajánlható. Ideális felvételizők, illetve tanulmányi versenyekre készülő diákok számára is.
• A megoldások ellenőrzése során - amennyiben ez a tanórán történik - a tanár egy-egy feladat után kiegészítheti az adott témát. Főként hasznos lehet ez, ha a téma kapcsolódik egy más tantárgy aktuális tananyagához (például magyar irodalom órán - Shakespeare; ének zene - a jazz; földrajz - Egyesült Királyság, USA stb.)
