Meet the partner class and share how we talk about time

Students introduce themselves to the partner class and share one everyday sentence about yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Together they notice how the two classes use time words differently.

Durata: 45 minuti

Interview community members about past, present, and future events

Students interview family members and neighbours about past, present, and future events, recording answers word for word. They then tag the verb tenses used and note where the meaning of each answer depends on the tense.

Durata: 120 minuti

Compare interview findings with the partner class and spot tense misunderstandin

Students share their recorded answers with the partner class in a shared document or short video exchange. Together they compare tense patterns, find places where the same sentence means different things, and propose clearer ways to express time.

Durata: 120 minuti

Present findings and proposed clearer time expressions to both classes

Each team presents its comparison and one improved way to express time, then both classes give feedback and reflect on what they learned about intercultural communication.

Durata: 75 minuti
