  • To provide clarification and practice of the key words in the present perfect tense (e.g. 'yet', 'just', and 'ever').

Procedure

Lead In (3-5 minutes) • To initiate students' interest in discussing things which have been completed.

In this stage, T. asks the students to think of the possible activities they can do after they get married. Such things include travelling to somewhere, staying in a hotel, etc. Then T. drags ss' attention to read the list on exercise no. 1 page 108, then guess what the couple have done.

orientation to the text & guided- discovery (10-15 minutes) • To get students to discover the placement of words' just, and 'yet' in meaningful present perfect sentences.

In this stage, T. is using Guided Discovery to get the students to find out the placement of the words 'yet, and just'. First, T. asks students to listen to exercise 2, based on the list of things written in exercise 1, and tick the things which both Rod and Merlyn have done as true and things which they have not done as false. Then T. shows the answer key for the students to compare their answers. Later, T. asks them to underline the sentences with true and notice the word ' just'. He also directs the students' attention to underline the word ' yet'. T. asks them which sentences are positive and which are negative. The students notice the difference between them. 'Yet' is used in negative sentence. 'Just' is used in positive sentence. Finally, T. asks where the word 'just' is used and where the word 'yet' is used. T. listens to the students' responses and clarifies the placement of the two words, with reference to the Grammar spot page 108.

Controlled Practice (12-17 minutes) • To practice the use of ' yet' and 'just' in meaningful present perfect sentences.

In this stage, T. directs students' attention to exercise no. 1 page 109. The students will ask and answer questions with each other in pairs. The question will be with the word 'yet'. For example: ' Have you washed your car yet? The answer will be either with the word ' just' in the positive form or 'yet' in the negative form. T. will monitor the students and once they finish, he will give a collective feedback over the students' use of the two key words. The second part of the stage is concerned with the exercise 2 page 109. T. directs the students to read each pair of sentences for one minute, then decide or tick the correct sentence. T. gives feedback and clarifies language when necessary.

Flexi-stage (7-10 minutes) • To provide revision and practice of the key words of the present perfect tense.

This is a flexi-stage. It is intended to cover all necessary clarification or practice of the grammatical rules taken. It may include answering relevant exercises from the WB.
