TEACHING APPROACH:
Using a student-centered approach, I encourage students to actively practice tenses through speaking, writing, and peer interaction. Rather than focusing on memorization alone, I guide learners to discover patterns and apply them in real-life scenarios. Students will engage in group tasks, role-play conversations, and reflective exercises that help solidify their understanding of how twnses function in communication.
OVERCOME:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to use verb tenses accurately and confidently, avoid common tense errors, and apply correct tense usage in everyday communication, academic writing, and storytelling.
