Write meaning(M) on the board, the meaning of context, and key words that clarify the meaning of present continuous. I use time line, gesture, formula ways to clarify meaning; I, after that, do CCQ, write the form of present continuous tense (question and negative forms) and pronunciation on the board. Write F To clarify form, and write the form of present continuous. Sometimes ask them and look them for completing the form. Don’t stand in front of the board always. Change your place and look them sometimes. Write P to clarify pronunciation. Show them the stresses of the context, Read the context, and ask them for repeating context by using correct pronunciations and stresses. Show them moving pictures for elicitation, and ask: “what is she doing? How is the weather?...”.
write some verbs on the papers , and give them. Other Ss should make question and negative form sentences, and answer the questions. Just two or three papers are enough. Don’t say sentences yourself and elicit them, but if they have problem, help them.
Play a listening. Give them some papers that they should complete sentences according to the listening; I, after that, ask them to check their answers two by two. Then write answers on the board, and say: “look here plz check your answers with correct answers”.
