And now we'll take a look at a few teaching ideas for the present continuous tense. The present continuous tense is quite a visual tense. We use it to describe actions that are happening at the present moment. So, we could give our students a picture, such as the one seen here. It is important that in the picture there are many activities going on. The teacher can give a time limit to pairs or small groups. In that time limit, the pairs or small groups will make various sentences based upon what they see in the picture. These sentences may include 'He is taking a picture,' 'He is throwing a boomerang,' 'They are playing with the ball,' 'He is digging a hole.' At the end of the time limit, the teacher will ask for some feedback and get feedback from the pairs and the groupings to see what different sentences they were able to come up with. Hopefully, at the end, the students will have made statements using as many of the pronouns as possible, in this case at least he/she or they.
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.
There are several styles of teaching that can be deployed in a variety of scenarios depending on student need: managing, monitoring, tutoring, etc. These strategies for teaching can match with various student's levels of proficiency. If a student is struggling there are several potential reasons for this due to their motivations. Understanding student motivation can help a teacher understand their struggles and tailor classroom activities to their needs.I have always been interested in grammar and vocabulary and how to teach them. This lesson proposes how you can get started in doing that. I think the order in which the concepts are introduced plays a large role in acquisition, i.e. ESA frameworks. It is important to take into account many factors when deciding what vocabulary to teach. These include: appropriacy, spelling and pronunciation, and similarity to English words already known by the students.
