Lesson\/Unit Summary: <\/strong>The lesson aims at developing students\u2019 competence in using the present progressive to indicate actions happening at the moment of speaking. The lesson includes an interesting video as the language input, which is followed by a language exercise developed from it. The amusing video not only increases students\u2019 learning motivation but also shows the meaning of the present continuous tense clearly to students. Acting out is also included in the lesson so as to cater for the needs of kinesthetic learners and to give more fun to the young learners. Students are then asked to do a role-play to practise using the present continuous tense to indicate actions happening currently. Students are given the simulated context that the mother or father who is at work has to make a phone call home to see what the family members are doing. Students who act as the family members will answer the call and tell the parent what they are doing. With different interactive elements included in the lesson, students will be able to use the present continuous tense to talk about actions happening at the moment of speaking.<\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n
