Today I had my third practice with
Intermediate English I. I was praying to God for help because I have been sick.
I have a sore throat, but I did a great effort to teach this class. My tutor
asked me to teach present perfect simple and continuous. The warm up was related
to the topic. I had them compete by saying the correct past participle form of
the verbs. Some of them had troubles and I told them to review the verbs.
I prepared a brief grammar explanation so they
could understand better through practice. I learned this tip in previous
practices; the students grasped the grammar point easily and then I solidified
their understanding by having them practice. I gave them pieces of paper with
action verbs and I asked them to form sentences orally using present perfect
simple and continuous. I also taught them the use of since and for; they had
some practice using these words and at the end they were able to use both
tenses properly. Though I am sick, my class was nice and I am glad to teach
them every time.
