In careful usage, 'as' is a conjunction; 'like' is a preposition: that should get you started. But I think your English is more advanced than this, Seyf-- is there something more subtle you are looking for?

It depends on the age and intentions of your students, Seyfihoca.
If these are young students who are going to use the language for academic purposes, then I would teach them only 'as I told you' as the correct form, and let them learn themselves of 'like I told you' as a colloquialism if they ever get a chance to have informal conversations with native speakers.
