Teaching Skills: Teaching Tenses

Have you ever wondered what the best way to teach tenses is? Perhaps even how to distinguish to your students when to use Past Perfect versus Present Perfect? Do you need a refresher on teaching tenses in general? 

This session will provide a practical framework for teachers to use and teach tenses. Clear steps to teach grammar and rich examples for teachers to evaluate will be provided so these skills can be applied in the classroom. 

Attendees will also receive a certificate of attendance which includes the number of teaching hours.

For the best experience, attendees should have:

• a computer or ipad style device (a phone will also work)

• stable internet access

• a headset with microphone

• a webcam
