Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a game related to Present Tense

Highlighting (8-10 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language and guide them to discover the rules of Present Tense

-Project the text which is about daily routine of someone. -Group the Ss again for the competition. -Ask Ss to choose someone to run and underline all the verbs in Present Tense in the dialogue and tell them they can get help from their teams. -Check their answers on the board.

Semi-Controlled Practice (10-12 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for practicing sentence stress and intonation

-Project the questions and tell the Ss that they will listen to them. -Ask them to listen carefully to notice the stress on the important words. -Write a sentence to show how to stress the important words in the sentence before listening them. It will help them to realize what is the purpose of this listening activity. -Focus Ss on the aux. verb does and tell them it is not stressed. -Ask Ss to practice the sentences in pairs. -Monitor and help when necessary because the purpose is putting the stress on the right word. -As a last activity, shift the focus on language.
