Teaching Practice 1
Upper Intermediate level

Description

In this lesson, students who already know the forms: present simple and continuous with future use, practice in order to bring all 4 forms together and choose between them. The lesson starts with a listening, presenting people with optimistic or pessimistic outlook. This is followed by a grammar practice where students become capable to differentiate between the situation they should use the appropriate form. Finally there is some controlled practice through filling the blanks appropriately and free practice via a final speaking activity.
