Analysis of problems & solutions

What’s the target language / key vocab?
Present continuous tense for future
arrangements
Vocabulary related to future plans,
arrangements, and events
Is the language specific to certain situations? E.g. formal. Informal, slang.
NA
What difficulties/problems do you expect students to
have with meaning, form and pronunciation?
Meaning:
Difficulty understanding the concept of using the
present continuous tense to describe future
arrangements or plans.
Confusion about how actions happening now can relate
to future events or plans.
Form:
Incorrect conjugation of the verb "to be":
Example: "She am going to the party tomorrow."
Incorrect use of the present participle form of the main
verb:
Example: "He is go to the cinema tonight."
Errors in forming questions, negatives, and statements:
Example: "Are you are coming to the meeting
tomorrow?"
Confusion in understanding how actions happening now
relate to future events or plans.
Pronunciation:
Mispronunciation of the present participle (-ing form) of
verbs:
Example: "He is walkING to school."
Errors in stress and intonation patterns:
Example: "They are GOing to the beach next weekend."
Analysis of appropriacy
What difficulties/problems do you
expect students to have with
appropriacy?
Suggest solutions for each problem.
Solution:
When we use the present continuous tense to talk
about future plans or arrangements, we're indicating
that something is already scheduled or planned to
happen. For example, 'I am meeting my friend for lunch
tomorrow.' Here, 'am meeting' shows that the
arrangement is already set, even though it's happening
in the future.
Solution:
Break down the structure of the present continuous
tense, emphasizing correct conjugation of the verb "be"
and the use of the present participle form of the main
verb. Offer exercises and activities to reinforce
understanding and usage of the present continuous
tense for future arrangements.
Solution:
Model correct pronunciation, stressing and intonating
the present continuous forms, and give students
opportunities to practice pronunciation.
What are the solutions to these
problems?
