English Grammar – Past Continuous – Teaching Ideas 2 – TEFL
For this TEFL teaching idea we ask the students to look at a scene in a hospital where there are several people doing different things. Students are given time to memorise the picture before it is turned over. The students would then be asked to say what the people were doing in the picture. For example:
A nurse was giving a patient an injection.
A man was pouring a glass of water.
As the trainer notes in the video, this activity can be adapted to make it into a competition by having students in teams compete to remember as many actions as they can.
Grammar points such as this are often seen as fairly boring to most English language students, especially those who do not choose to study English. So being able to come up with ideas that encourage students to practice the grammar in interesting ways is an important part of being an English teacher. Taking an online TEFL course with ITTT will give you an understanding of the grammar points that you need to teach when starting out as a new teacher of English and will also give you some great ideas on how to teach them.
