I think it was most difficult for me to learn “Present Perfect Tense – Experience” as a student, because it is difficult to understand the difference between Present Perfect and Past. If I teach it now, I will do as follow.
1) Do the game as Warming-Up. For example, show the card written “be”. Students answer “been”. “write” changes “written”.
2) Put the picture to show the situation. And give a sentence “I have been to an amusement park.” Write the sentence on the board.
3) Explain the grammar. In addition explain the difference between Preset Perfect and Past.
Sample sentences: I have been to an amusement perk.
I went to an amusement park.
She has been to Tokyo Disney Land.
She went to Tokyo Disney Land.
4) Chorus repetition with the change of speed.
For example; T: I have been to an amusement park.
S: I have been to an amusement park.
T: She has been to Tokyo Disney Land.
S: She has been to Tokyo Disney Land.
5) Give other sentences. And write it on the board.
For example: Miwa has never been to an amusement park.
6) Chorus repetition with the change of speed.
For example: T: Miwa has never been to an amusement park.
S: Miwa has never been to an amusement park.
7) Hand out the sheets. Do the sheets. After students finish the sheets, check the answer and repeat.
For example: Q. Change the words in the ( ) to their proper form.
1. I have (be) to Kyoto.
2. I have never (eat) avocado.
3. She has (ride) on a Ferris wheel.
8) Give the sheets and change the sentences.
For example: I have been to an amusement park.
(She) She has been to an amusement park.
(America) She has been to America.
(never) She has never been to America.
(work in) She has never worked in America.
9) Do repetition.
For example: Show the sentence “I have been to an amusement park.”
T: She. S: She has been to an amusement park.
T: America. S: She has been to America.
T: Never. S: She has never been to America.
T: Work in. S: She has never worked in America.
10) Ask the students to write a sentence about each of the topics.
For example: a good thing that has happened, a bad thing that has happened and so on.
11) Practice to read these sentences. And ask the question.
12) Consolidate the class.
That’s all. Thank you.

To Japanese University students or ALTs
I listened Mr.M's lecture in ETM3 class. I learned many things. So I tell you some importance based on Mr.M's lecture and my knowledge you will need to work at a Japanese junior high school.
1) Greeting
Japanese value polite attitude. So it is very important to greet steadily. Almost all of students greet visitors cheerfully in junior high school. If we don't greet students, they square up to us and they aren't hard to open theirself to us. When you will go to junior high school and see students, you should greet them with a smile at the first time.
2) Positive attitude
When most people introduse theirself in junior high school, they will say to students "Please speak to me!". However I think it's a negative attitude. You should speak to students. I think negative attitude relates to grasping the opportunity.
3) Responsibility
If you are practice teacher or you aren't hoom-room teacher, students think you are teacher. I think you are responsible for what you say and do as teacher and adult.
4) Smile
When I was junior high school students, my hoom-room tacher often didn't smile. I was afraid of him, because he seemed to be angry. On the other hand, my hoom-room teacher always smile at students when I was elementary school student. She was very popular with students, because I think smile soften student's anxieties. And "Laugh and graow fat." as the proverb goes.
5) Set the goal
Mr.M said to us that if we go to junior high school, we should set the goal with the view of students for three years. I think it is important for teacher to set the goal, because it develops that what we should do and we can make conscious classes.
Besides this you should not speak Japanese except explain difficult grammer and so on. And I think it is important for teacher to enjoy teaching!!!!! I hope you enjoy teaching in junior high school. Lastly, Mr.M, thank you so much for telling us.
