Learning scenario:

An ESL tutor starts a group lesson with students. Students had to watch the video on ESLcollective about technology changes. The teacher asks students, “Do you remember what was the video about?” One student answers, “it was about a girl; she tried to understand how to use an old phone”. ”Great, Pit! And, guys, what are old gadgets that you saw in a video?” Willam says” Videotape” “Good”, the teacher responds, “what else?” Students say, “boombox”, “sega”, etc. “Wow, you know so many things! And can you match the old technology with a new one and give names to them? I want you to work in groups of 3.” the teacher says. Then they explain who will work with each other and ask to finish the task in a group, and if the other group has problems - help them too. The task is finished when all groups match and name the pictures. Each group also had a tablet to watch the parts of the video again. When the task is completed, the teacher shows the correct answers and asks groups to self-assess and tell the score. The next activity will be to use these words in the sentences using past simple and present perfect tenses and tell how technologies have changed, so the teacher takes some sentences out of the video the students worked on and shows them again for the guided discovery of the difference between these tenses, as they know them separately already.
