Ginnette Monge If I remember correctly, you usually start with an overall introductory activity that eases the students into the topic. For example, you might show them a picture of your fridge. Ask them, "What is this?" to make sure everyone's on the same page. Then ask them, "What is there in the fridge?". To start, name something yourself as an example: "There's milk". When they've finished, you can ask them about what grammar their answers all seem to include. (There is/are) Once they finish, you can use one sentence -- like the one above -- to drill pronunciation of the whole sentence, using the positive, negative, and question forms. Each sentence should be written down after each one is drilled. The next stage is to elicit the form. Guide them through the "subject + verb" and so on for each form. These should be as clear as possible! What I mean is, if you're teaching "there is/are", then you only need to include "there + is/are" rather than "there + present simple to be". After that, you can give them some exercises, usually gap fills of some kind. :) Some teachers use worksheets to do guided discoveries, and that is always possible over using just the whiteboard/blackboard. The worksheets might include small exercises for the first exercise (finding the fridge items), deducing the common grammar point, and filling in some gaps to make the form. (example: "____ + is/____") I hope I haven't forgotten anything! I used examples from one of my practice teaching lessons from my CELTA course.
+SHUT UP AND SPEAK ENGLISH WITH MR.LEE I use Camtasia, which I really like, but it's not cheap. Screencast-o-matic is a great free/ cheap option for screencasting. I made a video about making screencast videos here th-cam.com/video/ixBr_hQ8QHs/w-d-xo.html if you'd like more tips :)

Just a question, How different is this method from the communicative approach ?
HIMEHEBA Hi there. I'd say that this is one technique you might use as part of a communicative approach (which is a much wider remit) if that helps.
thanks!
Thanks
Thank you! Amazing!
