2882. A Way to Teach Verbal Tenses in the Target Language
We communicate with
one another by using for example verbs, and so we need to master verbal tenses
in the target language.
I their teacher should follow a logical and naturalistic sequence,
so as to teach a verbal tense to my students. I can follow the skills we use in
real life to acquire and learn some way of expressing ideas, in the following
order: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Thus I their teacher can say
many realistic examples with for instance present perfect; I say sentences
about specific students, with present perfect.
After that I ask my students to
say sentences similar to the ones I their teacher have said, by using questions
and gestures as prompts.
Then I write on the chalkboard examples of that verbal tense. Or one
student does.
After that students read out those sentences.
And last but not
least they copy and write examples of sentences with present perfect. Afterwards
I can implement a drill with present perfect, before I proceed into something
more realistic, naturalistic and communicative. / Photo from: trekking
