Get the answers from one or two students
Students listen to an audio where three people talks about open-space offices There is a filling-gaps activity to highlight the present perfect sentences with 'for' and 'since', which student need to do while listening The answers will be given in a random order if students are not able to do the task or the audio will be replayed
After filling out the text, the answer sentences will be used to defines meaning through guided exercises The task has 5 questions about two sentences -one with for, one with since Ss will be asked to complete it and share answers in OCFB
Students answer 5 questions about the form of 'form' and 'since' The questions are mostly guided exercises to help them notice the structure rather than sentence structuring
Students again see the two sentences from the meaning stage to decide which words are stressed and which are not by listening the audio of the same sentence (cut version) and make the stressed words bold After OCFB, the sentences are analyzed for the contracted words, linkage and intonation
There are four questions which include two sentences to give the idea of if the sentence shows the length or the beginning point of the time Students will use these two questions to recreate the sentence with 'for' and 'since' individually OCFB
Students are asked to talk about the things they have done for some time such as living in the same house or keeping a childhood toy in pairs or groups
