Aim
Teacher draws a clock on the board. Learners discuss
what they associate with the image and any
expressions using “time” that they have in their own
language.
Learners
match
expressions
with
“time”
with
definitions.
Learners answer written questions about the meaning
of the expressions.
In two groups, A & B, learners complete different sets
of gapped sentences (which form questions) with
suitable time expressions.
Each learner from the A group pairs with one from the
B group, and they ask and answer each other the
questions.
Students report their answers back to the whole group,
and teacher gives feedback on errors overheard during
the activity.
