Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

The teacher greets the students. He then asks simple questions about the past tense to familiarize their minds with the subject, and then talks about grammar.

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

At this stage, the teacher writes the grammar structure on the board and explains about it. The teacher is now pasting some pictures about the structure, usage, and grammar on the board for students to see. Students look at the picture carefully and ask questions about grammar.

Highlighting (2-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

I explain more using this sentence of the text: "I think I have had a very interesting life." Start to explain and model the meaning for the students more of this sentence and why it is used this way. Ask them about the tense

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

Because this grammar is difficult and makes students tired, we play for 8 minutes and then continue the lesson. (The teacher selects a Past participle verb and hangs it)

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

The teacher asks the students to open the book. The teacher then asks one of the students to read the grammar section. It then gives them 5 minutes to read the reading and then change it and read it in pairs.

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

The teacher divides the students into two groups, then gives the student HO1 and asks him to solve it. The student then reads and checks the answers in order. At this stage, the teacher plays a video about grammar so that students become familiar with its pronunciation and usage

Semi-Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

T picks some students to ask each other about things they have achieved till now in their lives.
