let's choose "going to future" as the grammar point.
- provide lots of communicative exercises, activities, different kinds of multi sensory materials,
- gradually come to the point of teaching the grammatical aspect explicitly, but how can you do this?
- you may provide your students with an info-gap activity and expect them to ask questions to each other and give answers of them,
- after such a speaking activity, you may tell them to make dialogues making use of the previous information,
- you should write the dialogues on the board and underline the target structure after the ss produce them,
- after making dialogues ask the ss to form sentences with the structure and again write them on the board,
- if they give a sentence starting with "she or he", then ask them to reform the sentence with "they"
- then, ask them such a question: "which tense is this? what can you say about it?" here the ss are expected to talk about "plans, future, etc."
- the other question should be related to the form. you can ask, "what about the form? how can you make up sentences with this tense?"
as you see, you can complete such a part in this way.after completing explicit teaching you can enrich your lesson with a speaking activity.
so what do you think? does it make sense to you? if you have suggestions, ı will be pleased to read all of them:D
