Description

In this lesson, students will learn a new grammar item which is "Present Perfect Continuous" and they also practice the difference of it with the simple form. They first start with a discussion about snakes and they will give their opinions. Then, students will be shown the pictures that are in the book and talk about what is happening in them in pair. Following this, they will listen to the track and they will check their answers for the previous task. T writes two sentences from the listening on the board with two different tenses (PPS and PPC) . Since, they had a session about present perfect simple yesterday, T asks some CCQs about the simple form and the same CCQs for the continuous form so that the students see each sentence emphasizes on what. (Result / Action or Duration) . T elicits the formula of the PPC form from the students and then, the T drills the modeling sentences. For Controlled practice, students will do one of the exercises which is in the workbook, first individually and then pair checking. Following this, they will do exercise 3 in the student's book and after checking it, they will go for exercise 2 as a freer practice.
