Teacher Nesrin Ahmetoğlu created a lesson plan to teach future perfect tense to 9th-10th grade English students. The plan began with a warm-up activity to review past tense. Then, through a story and pictures, the teacher introduced future perfect and had students practice forming and understanding examples. Students then completed exercises to practice using future perfect correctly and comprehending its meaning. Various activities reinforced use of the new structure in meaningful communication. The plan aimed to help students identify, form, and use future perfect through inductive and hands-on methods.

9. AHMETOGLU 8
T: Yes and V3 comes after ‘have’ (Teacher underlines and labels all the things said while
they are telling)
Teacher writes the rule under the examples –S+Will+Have+V3…(Checking understanding of the meaning and the form)
T: Do we use future perfect tense for the future events that are planning to be done
continuously?
S: No.
T: Can we use this tense to mention about the things that are still on the way to be done?
S: No. It should be finished.
T: Yes, exactly. Then we can say that we use future perfect tense while making predictions
about the completion of a future event before another future time. Is it right?
S: Yes.
T: Do we use only ‘will’ to give this meaning?
S: No… Will+have+been(V3)
T: Great.
Rationale: Teacher used an inductive approach in this plan and involved the students in all
stages of the presentation part. Teacher created a context at the beginning of the lesson and
took their attention with a photo of her friend, then used different pictures to clarify the
meaning of the structure. Afterwards, teacher clarified the form and wrote the structure clearly
on the board by asking all elements of the sentence one by one. Lastly, teacher made a brief
conclusion using eliciting.
Transition: Congratulations, you get the idea I think. Let’s work on the structure a little
more.
