Before looking at specific teaching ideas for the present simple tense, let's first look at some considerations for teaching ideas in general. We have to remember that these activities will be used in the activate stage of your lesson. Here, the focus will be on building fluency and using the language in a bit more of a free-flowing way yet still focusing on that class' language point. We also have to consider the appropriacy for a number of factors: timings. Whether the activity will be too short or too long. We want to look at ages making sure that the activity is appropriate for young learners or adult learners. We also have to take into consideration our language levels. Will the activity be appropriate for our starters or our pre-intermediates or our intermediates? Will the activity be appropriate for a small class or a large class? And last but not least, certainly, we have to take into consideration our students' culture and their interests making sure that the activity is appropriate for either one and finally, we need to make sure that we're maximizing our Student Talk Time. Are the students using the language as much as they possibly can while they're still in the class? The more appropriate the activity will be, the more Student Talk Time we'll get.

Modal auxiliary verbs are used to express ideas such as, obligation, possibility or probability, permission or prohibition, ability, advice and showing some degree of formality. A phrasal verb is a word that contains several words and operates as one. They are very difficult to understand. The best way to learn phrasal verbs is by absorbing them naturally. Therefore, a teacher should constantly use phrasal verbs in class for the students to pick them up.This unit explores different ways to plan classroom lessons. It discusses the benefits of being prepared before taking each class, however, it also suggests not being too strictly scripted. This chapter also suggests planning well in advance and keeping a record of each lesson. Recording lessons also helps other teachers who may have to step in and fill your lessons should you not be able to deliver them. This chapter also shows examples of lesson plans.
