Here's an idea for teaching the present perfect continuous tense. However in this activity what the students will be doing, is comparing and contrasting this tense with the present perfect tense. This is something that a teacher will want to do after they've explored both tenses and because both tenses are quite confusing, we'll ask the students to compare and contrast the two, making sure that they can tell the difference. In this activity, the teacher will have cut out each individual card. The teacher will distribute the cards to the students and after a minute has gone by, the teacher will then ask the students to fold their cards over and get into a pair. One student in the pair will then present a certain result and ask the student to form the question. Here, with the prompts 'Why be angry'; The student will of course ask 'Why are you angry?' The other student will then flip over the rest of the card and read 'wait for you since 6 o'clock' and hopefully come up with a statement 'Because I've been waiting for you since 6 o'clock.' However, with this card we won't be using the same tense again. We'll be asking 'Why are you hungry?' and the student will have to answer 'Because I haven't eaten all day.' Hopefully by the end of the activity, the teacher will be able to recognize that the students are correctly deciding which tense the activity needs to be put into.
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 discussed about the importance of the receptive skills which include listening and reading, along with the various reasons why we use these skills and the manner of how we use them. I learned the various issues students face in regard to listening and reading and how I can address these issues to help them with their language problems. This unit also showed me a sample teaching method to improve the reading and listening skills of the students.From this unit i learnt that a lesson plan is an aid to planning what you expect the students to achieve by the end of the lesson and how you intend to make it possible, it also helps you to think logically through the stages in relation to available time. It also acts as a record of what class has done and which materials have been used. For example if a teacher is ill and another teacher has to cover his/her class, it acts as a recording class content.
