● T gives out the handouts for Ss, with key words for each person in SS-SS
Thorshor the dialogue.
○ “So now we have a small dialogue activity for us to
practice how to hold communication to talk about current T-SS
events. 3 Ss here will be A, 2 Ss and Co-T here will be B.
You meet each other 1 year after the CLP class at a party.
And you want to ask each other questions about how you
have been, and what you have been doing. Remember to
use the question, the sentence structure, and to form follow-
up questions!”
● T listens for production, and then has Ss exchange with another
student for another round of exchange.
● After every round, T asks if Ss use the structure, and ask follow up
questions.

1.1 Pre-stage

● T leads in from the previous class, reminding Ss of the questions T-SS

S-SS
 they had from the last class.

1.2 During Stage

● T gives handout to Ss.

● On the handout there are simple sentences in different tenses, each
with an unnoted timeline.
S-SS
“I do my homework.” “I did my homework” “I am doing my
homework.” “I was doing my homework.” “I have done my
homework.” “I have been doing my homework.”

● Ss are given time to discuss with partner and draw notes on the
timeline that could indicate the tense represented by each sentence.
● Ss are invited to draw the timeline on the board and then T S-SS
discusses with Ss about whether they agree the timelines drawn on
the board can reflect the tenses used. T-SS

● T continues with more discoveries regarding time phrases.

S-SS
I do my homework - usually, once a week, always

I did my homework - yesterday, last year, last month

I am doing my homework - right now, at the moment / these days

S-S
I was doing my homework - at this time yesterday, at 5 p.m. last Monday SS-SS
I have done my homework - already, just

I have been doing my homework - for 3 hours, since yesterday evening.

● Ss are asked to think of time phrases that can be used for sentences T-SS
in each tense, and then compare again with the help of time S-SS
phrases.
● Pairs to compare:

Simple present vs. present continuous

 Simple past vs. past continuous

Simple past vs. present perfect

Present perfect vs. present perfect continuous

● T elicits questions from Ss regarding questions about tenses.

● T leads Ss into practices related to tenses discussed and all do the

practices together.

1.3 Post stage

● T gives a general sum up and corrective feedback.

1. Materials:
● Markers & PPT
● Handouts for practices - Copies of 10* ?(for TCP teachers?)
● The audios for 5A & 5B

2. Anticipated Problems & Suggested Solutions:

● Students’ might be confused about the adjectives in different forms.
○ T would need more contextualized examples for Ss to practice the use of
adjectives.

3. Contingency Plans (what you will do if you finish early? need to cut LP? etc.):
● Finish Early
○ Check Ss’ Verb Form Handout. Go over the pronunciation of the verbs here.
○ Since students are eager to know about the irregular verb change in tenses,
teachers have already prepared the Verb Form as extra practice.
● Finish Late
○ Cut the listening part B. & keep it for the next class.
