Teaching Tenses - - - ORDER (Amazon UK)
"A really good book for TEFL Teachers. This book is particularly useful for native speakers in that it gives clear guidance on the seemingly chaotic rules that the English tense system follows. For each tense, we are provided with the form and function of the tense, suggested contexts with which to introduce it, and a list of problems that foreign students often have, and means of solving them. The back of the book comprises a large set of photocopiable drawings to elicit tenses from students." " |
