Now here are some teaching ideas for the future continuous tense. Here, we have an activity where we'll be asking students to spontaneously make some excuses based upon some invitations. We can do this in pairs or small groups. The teacher will have cut these cards up and the students will place them into a pile, randomly picking up a card. So one student might pick this card up and say 'Would you like to play tennis with me tomorrow?' The other student will be challenged to come up with an excuse as quickly as possible, which might be 'No, I'm sorry I'll be working.' Then, we have the next student pick up the next card and we challenge an additional student to make an excuse. Here we have another teaching idea for the future continuous tense and this involves two students trying to plan a meeting between themselves sometime in the future. One student will have a planner such as this filled in with quite a few activities. Their partner will also have a planner filled in with activities on opposite days. The activity will be rigged so that only one day allows for both of them to meet together. The objective of the activity will be define that day. They'll need to do so by asking a series of questions. One may begin with 'Would you be available on the fourteenth?' Here this student would notice that they have a conference and we respond with 'I'm sorry, I'll be attending a conference.' He may return with another day and by asking these series of questions, eventually, they'll arrive at the day they can meet. As with any activity where certain members of the group are missing information and they have to compare and contrast their information, we have to make sure that the students aren't actually showing each other their diaries and they're having to ask each other questions and respond verbally.
Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.
Class materials should be prepared according to class levels, ages, students interests and topics to be discussed/taught. The key ingredient is that said materials should be interesting enough so that the students are motivated to be involved in and after the class. Some times students can helo create class materials by developing their own reosurces which could be also used in class. This would give them more opportunities to practice what they learnt.The attitude of the teacher whenever he/she is teaching inside the classroom has a great effect in the students level of participation and emotions. Therefore, it will also determine the success of the lesson as well. Lastly, a simple gesture of smile and being open-minded to students with their answers will create a big impact inside the classroom, thus giving the students more confidence in their own level of understanding about the theme for the day.
