1- T instructs Ss to act some phrases that will be previewed to each of them using OHT ( or by writing the phrases on cards) in only 3 minutes. followed by ICQs if necessary. 2- T plays music and sets and demonstrates the task by acting the 1st 2 phrases. by which the TL will be elicited from and highlighted by Ss. 3- Ss complete the task by finishing all the phrases as quick as possible. 4- T Chests the handouts and instructs Ss to read and match the 3 short conversations to the 3 pictures (situations) below by saying "you have 3 pictures of 3 different situations below, now, read these 3 short conversations, and match them to the pictures". ICQs: " so you're going to ....... ? and ....... ? (read, match)" 5- T monitors, Ss check in pairs and then T feedbacks. 6- T: "Now, toy have 8 time expressions in ex2, replace the 8 underlined phrases in ex1 with these 8 time expressions below".

(3). 2- T monitors. Note: In addition of this stage and the next, comparing the ss usage of the TL with the 1st test, this stage will also serve as a production stage of the TL.
