PRESENT CONTINUOUS

' WILL'  FUTURE

' BE GOING TO'  FUTURE 

B) Practice

1)     Have individual students write a quick list of five scheduled or definite plans using be going to.

2)     Put students in pairs, and have them take turns stating their plans.  When partner A explains a plan, partner B should make a prediction.  When A’s list is exhausted, they can switch roles.  Partner B reads a statement with a plan, and A makes a prediction.

3)     While students practice, the teacher can listen for errors or misunderstandings and use the information for lesson planning or error correction.  The teacher can also extend the lesson to include will with probably, or use of the present progressive for future meaning depending on students’ accomplishments.

4)     As a follow up to any new material, students can switch partners and repeat with a new partner using the new language.
