109. Acquiring verbal tenses (3)


The email by the teaching trainer went on,

"To acquire past simple, first, your students have to listen to many examples said by you yourself.

'Yesterday, I went to the movies... I went to watch Up, by Disney-Pixar, ...to a hamburger place..., ...to McDonald's. I ate... '.

Use mimicry and the blackboard as visual aids.

Give further examples about specific students.

Also present negative sentences, 'I did not eat an elephant.'

Say statements about singular students. Emphasize and speak slowly.

Experience will teach you how to improve your presentations. This is still the silent period great Krashen named."



Thank you, eltamiz com, for your photograph of Thomas Alva Edison with his phonograph. Some people say he did not disregard this invention because he was deaf...

But I will tell you this story at another time.
