In this lesson, the students are going to learn and practice Present Perfect Simple, particularly using for/since to express unfinished time and the difference between Past Simple and Present Perfect Simple. The context for the Target Language will have been already set in the previous lesson through a reading text about time zones. Use of the extracts from the text relevant to the TL and CCQs to elicit the TL will be followed by further clarification on form and pronounciation. Controlled practices will be provided as well as a freer speaking activity to help the students develop oral fluency for what they will have just learnt.
