Topic/Skill: Grammar – Present Continuous Tense & Modals (Can) / Beginners

Teacher Presentation:
The teacher reviewed the previous lesson using the computer to project content on the board. He summarized the use of the present continuous tense in daily English and gave examples. Then, he asked students to continue the practice exercises assigned in the last class.

Classroom Management:
The teacher structured the lesson by timing each activity: reviewing grammar, writing 5 positive and 3 negative sentences in the present continuous tense, reading and correcting sentences with partners, and completing a fill-in-the-blank exercise.

Materials:
Computer (using Google links: Perfect English Grammar) and whiteboard.

Student Participation:
All students read their sentences aloud and shared the writing they had completed about their countries with partners.

Feedback Provided:
The teacher walked around the classroom, checking students’ work and giving feedback. He first offered clues and encouraged students to self-correct before he provided the correct answer.

Lesson(s) Learned:
I learned that using reliable online resources can make teaching grammar more effective. I also saw the importance of motivating students and giving them plenty of practice. Using examples related to their own countries and cultures made the lesson more meaningful and interesting for them. Finally, pairing students to work together gave them more chances to practice speaking, listening, and using grammar in a natural way.
