This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:
I have not gotten the results yet as I write this of course, but I expect to do very well. I have taught in Japan for many years and tense explanations was one of the most frequent requests or my adult students. Using 'English Grammar in Use,' I've gone over these structures and usages many, many times.
I think it is tempting to make patent observations like 'English has a total of twelve tenses, while many Asian languages only have one.' These sorts of generalizations are highly misleading on the one hand, but on the other I would not make such statements to students as it comes off rather ethnocentric. The reality is that all languages have their own peculiar ways of dealing with actions in time and expressing, no more and no less, the same nuances of observation of human behavior. I think we should, in a simple way, emphasize that fact. To take Mandarin Chinese for example, it uses aspect markers, time words and other language forms to indicate tense in a concise way. English makes judicious use of the be-verb and the do auxiliary to express tense, but the result is the same. And just because a base form verb, as in Chinese, does not change, that does mean it is not modified. Adding an aspectual marker is just as radical a modification as past participle. Finally, however, I would say that what distinguishes English are its irregular forms (due mostly to peculiar historical developments). All languages have their challenges.
