English Grammar -- Present Perfect -- Usage --

 

http://www.teflonline.net We have seen that the key word that helps us to remember the Present Perfect tense is forms of the word 'have' plus the past participle form of the verb. This ITTT video looks at the three main usages of the Present Perfect. First usage: To talk about indefinite past actions. I have been to Italy twice. / I have eaten snake. Second usage: To talk about unfinished past actions I have lived here for three years. / She has been a teacher since 2010. Third usage: To talk about past actions with present results. I have lost my keys. / I have left my computer in the office. When teaching the Present Perfect tense or any other grammar point it is always important to look for patterns and make it as clear as possible for your students. The courses at ITTT assume no prior knowledge of English grammar terms. Courses introduce the concepts, terms and structures in ways that will help build your own understanding as well as equipping you with the skills and confidence needed to teach your English language learners.

Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.

As a teacher, we should prepare the new vocabularies from the lessons, the grammatical forms and the usages of the words in advance. ESA structures are very useful.Sometimes we probably fill the gap between the students own language into English meaning and words.For example, if the students are foreigners, the teacher might prepare the separate sheet for them.Unit 18 is a grammar based unit which contains information about modal auxiliary verbs, passive voice in detail and a brief overview of phrasal verbs and relative clauses. In this unit we can find auxiliary verbs uses chart, which I found very useful for understanding this part of vocabulary. Teaching ideas bout this part is also will be useful in the classroom.
