The present perfect always relates the past to the present. This can be through the unfinished past, where we're expressing duration, such as 'I have played football for 10 years,' the indefinite past expressing experience in your life, such as 'I have been to Italy and Spain,' and also to show the present results of a past action 'I have broken my leg.' I broke it in the past and it remains broken in the present. Our final present tense is the present perfect continuous tense. Our example sentence here 'I have been playing football for 10 years' has the structure subject plus auxiliary verb 'have' or 'has' and then a second auxiliary verb here 'being' plus 'verb-ing'; 'I have been playing.' Very much like the present perfect tense, the present perfect continuous relates the past to the present but more focused on the continuity or the duration of the action. It can also be used to express the unfinished past, such as the example here 'I have been playing football for 10 years,' an action that began in the past and still continues in the present.
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.
This unit focused on and highlighted the different problems which may arise when teaching students of mixed ability, different backgrounds, large classes etc. The unit contained advice to counteract some common problems. I learned that often students who use their native language in the classroom are trying to be helpful or to communicate frustration as opposed to acting out behaviorally. I came away with the sense that I can tackle most of these issues.In this video I learnt that your bad attitude as a teacher could ruin the whole lesson. You must always be prepared for the lesson. You must always be engaged with the students, encourage them all the time, make them feel free to participate in the classroom. Using big words as a teacher while teaching learners who are beginners can also be intimidating and confusing at the same time, you will make them feel uncomfortable to participate in the classroom.
