Description

In this lesson, learners revise and contrast verbs in -ing and to through practice departing from a text about João Carlos Martins. The lesson begins by reminding students of the grammatical framework for verbs in -ing and to. Following, there is an intense practice focused on Form through marker sentences. One more stage profits from Concept Checking Questions to reinforce Task Language and, finally, Controlled Practice engages students in debating changes in the life of JCM and their own lives.
