Actions in Time

In this English lesson, students develop grammar awareness, comprehension, and communicative skills through structured activities focused on present perfect progressive and past perfect progressive. Following the Processing Instruction approach, learners are guided to notice the differences in form and meaning, including whether an action is ongoing or completed, and how duration is expressed through the use of have/had + been + -ing. Through referential and affective activities, students listen, read, complete multiple-choice tasks, and evaluate statements, while also engaging in discussions about general knowledge and personal experiences. Pair and group work promote active engagement, peer correction, self-monitoring, and confidence in accurately expressing actions with the appropriate progressive tense and duration.
