Narrative:
King air called ready flight runway 9L. I instructed him to hold short and he read it back. I had 1 rolling out and another on final. Plus 1 landing another runway. I gave instructions to the aircraft rolling out and then aircraft X called ready again. I began to tell him to hold short again and saw him on the runway so mid sentence I cleared him for takeoff knowing it would probably take longer to taxi him off the runway. He was airborne and turned before the B737 on final reached the runway end. Even though the pilot read the instructions back I believe language was an issue in this situation.
