Teaching Script: Weekly Routine (Beginner Level)
1. Pre-Activity
Greeting & Attendance (5 minutes)
● T: Good morning, everyone! How are you feeling today? Did everyone have a good
weekend? (Wait for students to respond.)
● T: That’s great to hear! Okay, first, let me check the attendance. Please unmute and
say “present” when I call your name. (Take attendance.)
● T: Before we begin, please log in to the Educaplay website using the link I provided
earlier. If you have any issues, let me know, and I’ll help you.
Introduction (5 minutes)
● T: Let me introduce myself. My name is [Your Name], and I’ll be your tutor for this
session. Here’s a little about me: I usually wake up early and walk to the campus
because I live close by. I teach English classes and love learning about new cultures.
(Write examples of routines on the notepad: “I wake up early,” “I walk to the campus.”
● T: Now, it’s your turn! Please introduce yourself. What’s your name? Where do you
live? How do you usually go to campus? (Call on a few students to share.)
Video & Explanation (5 minutes)
● T: Let’s watch a short video about routines. Pay attention to the sentences used in
the video. (Play the video.)
● T: In the video, you heard sentences like “I walk to the campus,” “We take the bus,”
and “I ride my bike.” These describe routines or habits. In English, we use the simple
present tense to talk about things we do regularly, like every day or every week.
(Show examples on the notepad.)
2. Whilst-Activity
Grammar - Writing (15 minutes)
● T: Now, let’s learn about the simple present tense. Look at the Grammar Section:
● T: Let’s repeat these sentences together. Repeat after me. Say each example and
have students repeat.
● T: Notice that when the subject is I, you, we, and they, the verb is just go, but for he,
she, and it the verb is goes. If the subject is he, she, or it, we add -s/es to the verbs.
Other examples are: Repeat after me. So far, is there any question?
● T: We also use frequency adverbs like “always,” “sometimes,” and “never” to talk
about how often we do something. We put the frequency adverb between the subject
and the verb. For example: Repeat after me.
● T: Now how about negative sentences? If the subject is ‘I, you, we, or they’, we use
‘do not’, Repeat after me. If the subject is ‘he, she, or it’, we use ‘does not’. Repeat
after me. We usually shorten ‘do not’ to ‘don’t’ and ‘does not’ to ‘doesn’t’.
● T: What about making questions? We use ‘do’ for ‘I you we they’ and ‘does’ for ‘he,
she, and it’. Repeat after me.
● T: So that’s how you make ‘yes or no’ questions. Now how do we answer those
questions? Let’s take a look at these examples. Repeat after me. Is there any
question?
