The Similarities

Ø Both of written and spoken procedural describe how something is accomplished through a sequence of actions or steps

Ø Both of procedural instructions state the goal “title”

The differences

Ø In spoken procedural instruction, usually the use of longer explanation supported by sequenced actions/steps, examples, pictures and more in details

Ø People easier to understand the spoken procedural instructions, since they can directly see the steps and things included in the procedure

Ø The written procedural explain the steps generally, while the spoken procedural tells the steps to print test page
