Grammar Class: Wish, Hope and It's time
Upper intermediate level

Description

In this lesson, the students will learn how to use the words and grammatical structures of wish, hope and it's time to express wishes and hopes and suggestions. We will start the class with a lead-in about borrowing money from your parents to engage the students. We will continue the class with a Text-Work phase of reading for gist, to get the TL in context for the students, intensive exercises to notice the language, and get TL to "extract" the language from the text. Then we will clarify meaning and form in an inductive way. To then follow with a controlled practice phse and finish with a freer practice speaking activity lesson. If there are any mistakes I will make a delayed error correction.
