In more than a decade years of teaching experience, I have found English language classroom, a great challenge

Example Spaced Learning Lesson

Say I wanted to teach a lesson on the differences between “would” and “could.” Here’s how my lesson might look:

Step 1 (15 minutes): Use the whiteboard to explain the official grammar rules.

Step 2 (5 minutes): Take a break to watch a video on the coffee culture of Seattle. (Yep, nothing to do with the grammar, just for fun.)

Step 3 (15 minutes): Review differences between “would” and “could” quickly. Take a short fill-in-the-blank quiz.

Step 4 (10 minutes): Play an easy improv game in English. (Also nothing to do with the grammar.)

Step 5 (15 minutes): Do a real-life role play situation involving “would” and “could.” You could choose a restaurant or work situation, depending on what best serves your students.
