Target language analysis:

1. What is the use or function of this
language? (include a timeline if
appropriate)
Most of the complex tenses, are best understood when we place events within a timeline.
And this is precisely the case with the future perfect. We use this tense to say an action will
be finished at a certain time in the future.
2 i-to-i LOVE TEFL Lesson Plan

2. In which context are you introducing
Mark these events in your timeline in the right order. Say, “By the end of this year,
John will have finished  his project. He will have taken some exams. He will have
planned a ski trip to Aspen.”
Make sure students understand these actions will be finished by a specific time (the end of
the year). Illustrate how the future perfect tense is formed: will + have + past
participle (for all persons)

2. I am sorry, by next week, I won’t have finished this report
3. When will you have finished?
4. Will you have finished the report by the deadline?
In order to make sure students understand the form of the target with multiple situations
like positive negative and question forms , I will be describing the below with some
examples and also some exercises for the students and also will have discussion
First :
Form: Will + have + past participle  or Going to + have + past participle
Usage: To say an action will be completed before a given future time
Example :
1. By this time next year, I will have done my SAT test.
2. We will have finished the work by 10pm.
3. They are going to have built the new road before the winter.
4 i-to-i LOVE TEFL Lesson Plan
 4. They are going to have completed the program two weeks before the deadline.

Second :
Form: Will + have + past participle  or Going to + have + past participle

Usage: Duration before a future time with non-continuous verbs

Example :

1. I will have been in Portugal for two years by 2013

2. They will have known each other for exactly five years before they get engaged
next week.

Third :
Form: Will + not + have + past participle   or Not + going to + have + past participle

Usage: To say an action will not be completed before a given future time

Example :

1. They will not have been asleep for long enough to stop feeling tired.

2. They are not going to have completed the program in time.

3. By this time next year, I will not have done my SAT test.

5. How will your students work out the In order to make sure students understand these actions I will be doing a dialog or a
rules for the structure? conversation and then provide a worksheet to solve so that they will understand better.

We form the Future Perfect using “will have” + a past participle.

To form negative sentences, we use “will not have” (or “won’t have”) + a past participle.

Look at the following dialogue between Christine (C) and James (J) to see how it’s used:

C: I can’t believe that by May this year we will have been to thirty different countries.
J: I know. It’s crazy! We will have done so many different things and I’m sure we will have
met loads of new people too.
C: Will we have learnt any new languages by then?
J: No, I don’t think we will have learnt any new languages; we’re too lazy!
C: Speak for yourself!

Lesson Rationale (700-1000 words):

10 i-to-i LOVE TEFL Lesson Plan

This Lesson is about learning the grammar with tenses especially the Future perfect tense. I have structured this lesson into PPP
structure and have created enough activities for the Students to make sure that understand practice, pronounce and write. The
activities involved are starting with the Posters which will be pasted to the board and will have the timeline examples to describe and
have some concept questions for checking the students. This way students can corelate the pictures with their daily activity routines
and try to understand. There are videos to explain the Tense and how the sentence need to be formed and with the real-life
examples which makes students to understand the meaning and structure of the sentence. I have also created a handout of the
future perfect which includes the Positive, Negative, Question and Mixed with grammar, Pronunciation and meaning for the students
to go though and read. There is a group Pronunciation session which will make students to practice the pronunciation. I also have a
Video which will teach the Students how to pronounce. There is a quiz activity in which we form 2 teams and will ask questions and
the teams need to answer the right future perfect grammar. There is a Looking into the Future activity where I give one worksheet to
each student. Students should ask the opening question to their partner. Elicit a couple of answers from the group. This should be
brief: the main speaking activities are at the end. Set the scene for the conversation. Tell the students that two co-workers are talking
about the future. Students should read the conversation silently and fill in the spaces with the words in the box on the left. Go
through the answers, and let the students practice the conversation twice, changing roles. This exercise checks students'
understanding of the future perfect simple. Students can discuss this in pairs. Depending on your students' understanding, you may
need to do a brief presentation on the use of the two tenses. Exercises four to six provide controlled practice of the future perfect
simple and the future continuous. Students can work on these exercises alone, and check in pairs. If you have smaller groups or just
one or two students, you can finish this worksheet with discussion. Give the students time to read the statements, and circle true or
false. Students can then form questions for these statements, and ask each other, using follow-up questions, where appropriate.
Monitor, and make notes on relevant errors. These errors can be corrected when the discussion ends. Students should try to talk to
as many people as possible in this exercise. This exercise can make students think and answer the questions. If this does not work
out, I can make them to have as pairs and answer them so that at least they can discuss and come up with the answer.

There is a Worksheet for Future Perfect Questions activity where students should make the Future perfect statement and make that
as a Question statement which will make them to understand how they can convert a sentence into a Question sentences. This
11 i-to-i LOVE TEFL Lesson Plan
makes them to learn how to convert the sentence of Future perfect into a question .If they are not able to solve this independently
again, I will be able to make them do this in pairs so that they can talk because the students are for different languages and cultures.

There is a quiz game in which I will make the class into two teams and build the competition between the teams and they can learn
the sentences, meaning, pronounce in this and this creates the Team environment and quick learning. If this is not going to work then
I will Divide the teams in to multiple smaller teams and give this as exercise and ask them to write and explain to teacher in groups
and Teacher can ask questions to re verify if they have learnt the words or not. This quiz can give them multiple things Especially they
will be able to talk to each other and can pronounce the sentences and words well.

There is a Worksheet for Future Perfect Positive , Negative activity where students should make the Future perfect statement and
make that as a Positive and Negative Future perfect sentences and fill in the blanks with appropriate words which will form the right
positive and negative statement which will make them to understand how they can identify the positive and negative sentences for
Future perfect tense. If they are not able to solve this independently again, I will be able to make them do this in pairs so that they
can talk because the students are for different languages and cultures.

I have considered to play a small activity planned for class as they are 12 years age. However, I have thought that the time may not
be enough for this to explain. I have also thought to show the lesson in you-tube and explain them. Later I did not find that necessary.

In the class we have multiple lingual people and I have considered other options to make them as teams of different regions then
they might talk in their own language. I have created another activity where we can divide the team into two teams where they can
make sure they understand and learn the Sentences for Future Perfect. This I found is most effective way to conduct the session.

I have also thought, if we do not have time to do all exercises, I will give some of the tasks as homework and ask them to do it so that
I can effectively manage the timing of the class .
12 i-to-i LOVE TEFL Lesson Plan
If we observe the way I have structure the class, it is in this order which gives them a warmer to kick start and then slowly ask them
to understand the grammar and then forming the sentences, pronounce and practice . Then they will fall into PPP (Presentation
which includes (Presenting Meaning, Presenting Form, Presenting Pronouncement) , Controlled Practice and Production )

Over all by the end of the class , all the students will have an ability to understand Grammar , speak, form sentences , pronounce,
Write and identify the differences in the Tenses and especially the Future Perfect is been taught in the class and in the next class this
would be a warm up session .
