<p>This study examined students' difficulties of explanation activity in university lecture class. Study 1 examined the students' impression to the explanation activities, and the result showed that most of the students thought the activity positive manner. However, the result also suggested that many students felt anxious of the activity because they were not sure how to explain. In Study 2, to reduce their anxiety, students were instructed to give examples for topics hard to understand and to check listeners' understanding. The results showed that although students' confidence to their explanation rose after the instruction, most of their examples just mimicked what on the texts, and some contained inappropriate examples. Based on these results, we discussed the way of effective instruction for explanation activity.</p>
