Rencana Pelajaran | Metodologi Aktif | Verbs: Main Future Forms

Prinsip: Rencana Pelajaran Aktif ini mengasumsikan: durasi kelas 100 menit, studi sebelumnya oleh siswa baik dengan Buku maupun awal pengembangan Proyek dan bahwa hanya satu kegiatan (di antara tiga yang disarankan) akan dipilih untuk dilaksanakan selama kelas, karena setiap kegiatan dirancang untuk mengambil sebagian besar waktu yang tersedia.

Tujuan

Durasi: (5 - 10 minutes)

The Objectives phase is essential for laying a clear foundation for the lesson. By setting specific goals, students can direct their focus on particular areas of study, ensuring their learning needs are met. This approach also helps to maximise class time, making sure everyone is ready for the practical activities ahead.

Tujuan Utama:

1. Empower students to identify and correctly use future forms in English, specifically 'will' and 'going to'.

2. Develop analytical skills to decide which future form to use in different communication contexts.

Tujuan Tambahan:

1. Encourage active engagement from students through discussions and collaborative activities.
2. Enhance students' speaking and writing skills in English.

Pengantar

Durasi: (15 - 20 minutes)

The Introduction phase engages students with the content they revisited at home, employing problem-based situations that stimulate critical thinking and application of prior knowledge. Moreover, contextualising the topic with real examples and intriguing facts helps highlight the relevance of what they learn, motivating them to dive deeper into the study of future forms in English.

Situasi Berbasis Masalah

1. Imagine you and your mates are planning a trip for next summer. How would you express your travel intentions and the things you plan to do in English, using 'will' and 'going to' correctly?

2. Consider emergency situations. How would you describe future actions that you or others will take, based on spontaneous decisions ('will') or planned actions ('going to')?

Kontekstualisasi

Grasping future forms in English is vital not just for everyday chats but also in work and academic settings. For instance, knowing how to use 'will' properly in a workplace context can show readiness and accountability, whereas employing 'going to' indicates planning and commitment. Moreover, understanding some quirks of the English language, such as how 'going to' originated from 'going to do', enriches our appreciation of it.
