A Communicative Approach to English Verb Tenses

By Stephen Peridore

The Context Cure is a transformative guide for ESL educators frustrated by the persistent gap between their students' grammatical knowledge and their actual speaking fluency. The manuscript argues that traditional 'rule-first' instruction fails because the human brain requires context to anchor new information. By introducing 'The Contextual Revolution, ' the book provides a robust framework-Presentation, Lesson, and Communicative Activities-for all twelve English verb tenses. It moves beyond dry conjugation tables, offering practical, high-energy classroom strategies like 'The Alibi Game, ' 'The Experience Auction, ' and 'The Space Mission Journal.' The book treats language as 'time made audible, ' teaching tenses as related tools in a single toolkit rather than isolated concepts to be memorized. By the final chapter, teachers are equipped to help students weave tenses together in complex, multi-dimensional narratives. This is an essential resource for any teacher looking to turn grammar from a tedious subject into a vibrant, usable skill that stays with students long after they leave the classroom.
