In a TEFL classroom, it is essential to recognize that students come with varying levels of English proficiency. These proficiency levels are often categorized into beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

Understanding these differences is crucial in providing appropriate support to each student. There are several strategies that can be employed to support students with different English proficiency levels in the TEFL classroom. One effective strategy...  [Read more]

The first thing to notice with the continuous tense is that we must use the verb plus '-ing' form, also known as the present participle. You'll see it in any continuous tense, especially with the present continuous. We have three different forms of this tense. First, we have the subject 'I' used with 'am teaching'.
