The class were a couple of minutes late, and I let this pass. After the concept of Lesson Aims was introduced they appeared to be relieved and Mustafa said that during their whole time in England they had never been given a “map” of their studies, and that it was very important to them to have one.

The error correction procedure was outlined and approved.

We began unit two of the SB, which “reviewed” the present perfect. This led to us getting mired down in an explanation of this tense, which the whole class seemed to understand only vaguely. (I have copied some exercises for their homework.)

We got into similar difficulties with used to + verb, which is inadequately presented in International Express.

The class claimed to believe that the homework due today was actually due tomorrow.

I gave the second instalment of the writing assignment (significant people).
