But taking first the FI course, there is ground school which again the term Situation awareness is used frequently. But how to teach it nope not there. Basic flying skills are meant to develop it but not out right teach it. Over a period of time it develops as experience is gained by the PPL and capacity is released from handling the aircraft. A big part of it is knowing what is coming next
Even allowing for the awful use of English it's difficult to understand what he really means especially as he doesn't seem to know himself

That's strange because you said on the earlier post that situation awareness wasn't covered in the flight instructors course now you are saying the term SA is used frequently on the course. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why the term is being used frequently. Here is a clue, its a course to teach you to be an instructor and after the instructor says hello that's what he is trying to do by using certain terms frequently

There are 5 hours allocated for the teaching of Judgment & Decision Making which includes SA on the AOPA FI Syllabus and you say-
But how to teach it nope not there
. Here is another clue, if you can repeat most, or even some of what the FI instructor says to you during this five hours you could pass yourself off as an instructor who knows how to teach SA.

Simple fact is that to anyone with any experience its blatantly obvious that his skills with google far exceed the skills which he is discussing.
I can confirm that Google was not consulted once during the writing of this post.
