I used this video/audio flash cards to teach my neighbors' 13 years old son and his 2 classmates the Present Simple tense. Although, the students have learned present simple at school they didn't internalize it properly. They were mixing present simple with present continuous. Hence, I used these video/audio flash cards to help them. First, I explained the way how and where to use present simple and present continuous and then I played the video/audio file to let the students practice and internalize the material properly. Overall, I want to say that I found this material to be very helpful for both students and teachers especially when there is a confusion between present simple and present continuous tenses.

I used these dialogs with my brother, who wanted to improve his English. Generally speaking he wanted to listened to native speakers speech and daily conversations. During the listening I didn't show the transcript of the dialogs in order to check whether he understood the meaning. To tell the truth there were some unknown words and expressions even for me. He could get the main meaning of the dialogs, however there were words and expressions that were quite difficult for him to understand. So, to solve the problem I used the vocabulary list written below.

A good activity to test the learners' awareness of the tenses.

The game gives an intermediate ESL learner an opportunity to revise his/her knowledge about past tense. This game provides some 'context' where the student can practice his/her knowledge. There is also a level of difficulty in this game i.e. a player can choose from the provided three pts and find the level corresponding to his/her level of language competency. I piloted it with one of my students and he chose the easiest pt and succeeded. After he tried the medium pt and lost 4 points for incorrect choice of form. He tried to do the most difficult one but he did not understand some words in context and couldn't gain needed scores. I would advise EFL teachers to use this game because it enhanced, engaged and motivated my student in language learning.

This activity can be played either with teenagers or even kids. It is engaging and brings active interaction into the classroom. All the students are involved in the activity at the same time. It is also exciting for the teacher as he has to create questions during the activity aside from those prepared. Finally it is competition among the student which works perfect most of the times. Enjoy.

All the three activities are good for practising Past Continuous but most of all I liked "Alibi" . I do think, it's excellent for all level students but I would prefer to practise it with intermediate ones. Students will be able to improve their speaking skills via creating stories. Besides, the process can be very intriguing.
