Presentation:

In this simple lesson you will allow students chance to speak freely about

different aspects of their future life while guiding them (with their help) to the

best available grammar forms in order to do so.

Procedure

Stage 1

Open discussion

Put students in pairs, and direct their attention to the board where they will read

the following:

Talk for a minute about each of the following:

• Your arrangements for this evening

• Your intentions for the rest of the year

• Your predictions for the planet for 2020

By means of a gesture get them to start. I don’t offer the slightest insight into

what I want nor expect from them. I don’t interject nor correct (unless they’re well off track), I just want them to talk. By this level they have already met all the tenses we are going to be using, so there will be no actual teaching, but as very often they misuse the forms to some considerable degree, there will be plenty of opportunity for revision.

As they are talking, I quickly draw a simple diagram on the board representing the four main forms of the future thus:

Present Simple Going to + infinitive

Present Continuous Will + infinitive

The situations are usually along these lines (with suggested answers in case

the ambiguity of the English future tenses has extended to teachers too ). Be

sure to mix the order, and give all of them to each pair.

Timetabled events, e.g. TV programme or train departure PS

Practice:

Put the verbs in the brackets to the right form of tense.

1) They _____ football at the institute. (to play)
