      I`m just wondering if these activities can be moved under the tag of " Present Perfect" instead of Present Perfect Continuous. The latter would need to follow the " has/have + been+ _____-ing ~~~~ for/since ~~~~~"

    2. Jake W April 12, 2021

      Let's see, which ones would fall under Present Perfect and not Present Perfect Continuous?

    3. UonumaRobert April 12, 2021

      I’m betting none fall under present perfect continuous since that isn’t taught in junior high

    4. UonumaRobert April 13, 2021

      Although I guess it is now. Found an example of it in Sunshine Two.

    5. RedPhoenix April 13, 2021

      Robert is right. None of the above would fall under the "present perfect continuous". This tense is a newly added grammar point for the 3rd grade textbook. The present perfect tense ( has/have spoken English for three years/since 2018) is now a new grammar point for the 2nd grade textbook. It was previously taught in the 3rd grade.

    6. UonumaRobert April 13, 2021

      I didn't actually look at the activities. Some might be easily modified since present continuous and past continuous activities could be used for this new tense. Although I'd probably remove the tag unless the activity specfically has a 'present perfect continuous' worksheet or version. It will save time for ALTs looking for something to use quickly.

    7. Jake W April 13, 2021

      I apologize that these particular grammar points mix me up so much. Do you think you could e-mail me, RedPhoenix? It's on the contact page. I'll try and re-categorize these once I have a clearer idea of what this grammar point is and what should go where!

    8. RedPhoenix April 13, 2021

      I just did.

    9. Jake the Admin April 14, 2021

      Thanks for pointing this out, all! I think I'll keep the tag around for the time being, but I recategorized the activities that were tagged under this grammar point back to Present Perfect. Maybe this particular point will pop up in a textbook somewhere.

      Greetings! I've been working as an ALT for eight years now. My goal is to make my students speak. I interact with the teacher and the students. I always try to use grammar in real situations. Otherwise, the students can understand how to use it in real life. Just ask simple questions! For example,

      What music have you been listening to recently? Where have you been having fun with your friends this month? What book have you been reading this week?

      Just make it simple for them.

      What I do is to ask the teacher first. Then, the teacher asks me the same question. Before that, I guide the conversation to that particular grammar point. You want to sound natural. The students get the topic of the conversation pretty quickly, and most of them can answer these questions right away. If they just answer with words, don't worry. It is OK. We want them to speak. Don't make unnatural activities, because students will forget right away. 
      I only spend 5 to 10 minutes writing.

    12. Fernand May 31, 2022

      3/3 They hate writing, and they write a lot when we are not there. Our lessons must be fun and dynamic while keeping the grammar points in context.
