    The document analyzes the teaching of the present continuous tense. It identifies the target language as "I am working, I am writing" and provides a model sentence using it: "He's designing a new one which should go faster." It discusses the meaning, form, and pronunciation of the present continuous. For meaning, it explains it indicates an ongoing action and provides contrasting questions. For form, it outlines the positive and negative structures. It anticipates errors such as using the simple present instead and solutions such as comparing timelines. It also anticipates pronunciation errors and proposes modeling, drilling, and using phonetic scripts to address them.

    eliciting question).

    Present continuous
    Hes designing a new one which should go
    faster.


























    New Meaning: (of present continuous)
    An action happening right now in this moment. (Sources 2 & 7 (OHT3 of source 7)
    CCQs: (1) Is it going on now? (yes)
    (2) Has he finished? (no)
    (3) Will he always be designing? (no)
    (4) Is it an action that he has control over? (yes)
    {sorry- did not understand what the missing concept was- I dont think this last CCQ hits it- I read
    present continuous is used for actions under your control, not used with verbs that denote a state,
    only an action Example: I am working at the moment NOT I am believing you.)
    Timeline ( Appendix 6) Can be used to compare present simple and present continuous to highlight
    the difference.

    Form: (Sources 2,4,7 & 6)

    Subj. + present form be (am/is/are) + present participle (ing form)
    Positive:
    Auxiliary verb Main verb
    Subj. + +am +is + Verb + ing
    I m (Im)
    He/She/ s (hes/shes)
    It s (its)

    Negative:
    Auxiliary verb Main verb
    Subj. + +am + not +is + not + Verb + ing
    I m (Im not)
    He/she/ s (hes/shes not)
    It s (it isnt)

    Illicit: what is the auxiliary verb? What is the main verb?

    Pronounication: (Sources 1 & 2)

    Hes designing
    /hiz/ /dzan/ Model and drill.
    Meaning:
    Ss may use present simple when
    present continuous is more appropriate
    because learners want to simplify and
    standardise (Source 5, pg 195)
    e.g. I read books instead of I am
    reading books
    The first denotes a habitual action-
    every time when I have time, the
    second suggests an action now.

    Solution: Compare timelines for past
    simple and present simple to help
    distinguish the difference and highlight
    when to use present continuous.











    Pronounication:
    Ss may use /e/ sound in hes
    Ss may use /s/ sound in hes
    Ss may prounounce the /g/ in
    designing
    Ss may not pronounce the contraction
    correctly- prounounced as heez- Ss
    may say his or heath

    Solution: model and drill/ show
    phonemic script and silent letters.
