When should you teach the Future Continuous to ESL students?

It’s essential to teach this topic at the right time. Students can feel overwhelmed or demotivated if you start teaching the Future Continuous too early. This lesson is designed for pre-intermediate students (B1 Level on the CEFR framework). Before you begin this lesson, check the following:

- Can your students use the present continuous for actions in progress at the time of speaking?
- Can your students use the simple future with will?
- Have your students had exposure to the past continuous, for actions in progress at a point in the past?

If your students have completed all three points above, they are ready to learn the Future Continuous.

The Future Tense

Teaching the simple future tense - or the future with will - is usually a fun challenge. Students love talking about their future plans, after all, they are learning English for exciting reasons. Teaching the simple future tense isn't as difficult as other tenses. However, it's important to keep it fun! Teaching the future with will can get a bit redundant, so Off2Class has put together an exciting lesson plan to introduce the simple future tense to your students.

When to Teach the Future with Will?

English language teachers usually teach the simple future tense after teaching the future with going to. It's important to differentiate when we use will and when we use going to. This lesson does just that. This ready-to-teach lesson plan focuses on the positive form of will and even introduces the term shall. As well, students will learn about when to use will versus going to. Finally, students will learn about making predictions about the future. This lesson is easy to follow and perfect as an introduction to the simple future tense. Complete with picture-prompt activities and gap-fill exercises, your students will have ample opportunity to practice.

To Contract or Not to Contract? When to Teach Contractions

Some ESL teachers don’t to introduce contractions to their students. However, students must learn about contractions from day one! Contractions are widely used in most forms of English, especially spoken English. Therefore, students must practice contractions until they can use them naturally and fluidly. This lesson plan introduces the positive form of the contraction will and I encourage you to take plenty of time to practice it.
