This short presentation introduces the formation of the Near Future Tense.

The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary and grammar: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation (PPC = Perfect Pronunciation Challenge) and question each other (QFQ = Quick Fire Questions) before the teacher checks with the whole class.

The next slides have the phrases and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, English, the formation and to drill.

The next slide looks in detail at the formation and the final slide at the conjugation of aller.

You could then use one of my Near Future Tense battleships games/ lotto grids to reinforce the new structure.

Expressions:

Je vais
Tu vas
Il va Elle va
On va
Nous allons
Vous allez
Ils vont
Elles vont

voir un film de science-fiction.
aller au cinéma.
regarder la météo.
faire du cheval.
jouer avec des copains.
jouer à l’ordinateur.

Battleships Game
Instructions

The students love this competitive and fun game!
I use this battleships game (which can also be used as a lotto grid) to help students to practise their pronunciation and to reinforce new vocabulary and grammatical structures.

Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions.

The students then focus on pronunciation and decide the two easiest and two most difficult words to pronounce.

I then check the translations and drill pronunciation with the whole class before they play the game. The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a phrase from the horizontal line and complete the sentence with a phrase from the vertical line. Where the 2 phrases meet up is the square you have chosen.

I use the English language sheet to further challenge the students: they should place this on top of the French version and then try to play the game saying the French phrases as far as possible from memory. I allow the really weak students to have the French version next to the English version so they have lots of support, stronger students are allowed a few “sneaky peaks” at the French version and the really strong students aim to refer back to the French version as little as possible. This really helps the students to memorise the vocabulary/structures!

During the game I circulate the classroom checking pronunciation. This is followed by whole class drilling of pronunciation mistakes.

Enjoy!
