Description

A circling classroom sequence appended to the article (Appendix 4, Figure 1) consisting of "four classroom teaching activities with three teaching approaches which are the grammar-translation, the cooperative learning (the Tic Tae Toe game), and the communicative approaches, as well as four practices/tests". Teaching of active and passive tenses is divided into two sections to avoid confusing learners, and the mode interchanges teaching with practice/test so users may take a second round. It integrates reading, listening, speaking, and writing practice.

Design Implications

Constraints

  • Active and passive tenses are taught in separate sessions due to the complexity and variety of the tenses

Target Learners

  • EFL college freshmen

Learning Goals

  • mastering English tense-aspect forms across the four language skills
