German term or phrase: Handlungsanleitung
hi,
always have found Handlung to be a tricky word to translate into English in some contexts: usually action etc. is good; but here:

Handlungsanleitung as: action instructions

doesn't sound very good.

Sentence:
"Entsprechend dem Konzept des Buches werden dazu auch konkrete Handlungsanleitungen für Lehrende im Umgang mit Studierenden gegeben."

maybe instructions for taking action/ performance instructions?

any ideas?

thx to one and all

Explanation:
I would just leave it out ... it is rather repeated in the idea of "im Umgang mit ..." ... so something like "specific suggestions (or guidance ... I wouldn't really say instructions) for dealing with students"
