Humanising Language Teaching Telling the Time ( Primary, secondary and adult)
by Christiane van Opdenbosch, Belgium Level: post-beginner to intermediate 1. Demonstrate this exercise to the class, using a volunteer. You: six o'clock Volunteer student: seven o'clock You: one minute past six Volunteer: one minute to seven You: two minutes past six Volunteer: two minutes to seven etc….. 2. Pair the students and ask them to move forward from six and backwards from seven, until they, hopefully, meet at half past six. Note: I have used this technique in my classes teaching Dutch to French speakers and feel you may find it useful for teaching English. |
