3. Drills of Tenses
Tenses Drill is a combination method of teaching using drill as the training and the tenses as the sources of learning. ‘All drills are so drawn up that the
students must repeat sentences in their entirety. This insistence on the repetition of a sentences as a whole is designed to train the students to use correct sentences
form’ Palmer Mendelssohn 1973: v. The main target of agility and skill to train students in understanding both the formula of tenses, verbs, sentences, and
even its use in specific time. It will also be noticed that different drills aim to practice different aspect of
a tense. For some of the tenses there are initial drills consisting of questions and answers relating to actions performed in the classroom; the
purpose of these is to demonstrate more clearly the fundamental use and meaning of particular tense.Other drills aim to practice the forms of a
tense e.g. Question and Negative forms or the pronunciation of particular forms e.g. the 3rd Person singular –s, -es, or the –d, -ed of the Past Tense
Shoebridge Giggins 1979: xiv. Drills of tenses focus on training students’ skills in accurately, accuracy and
fluency to construct words and grammar used correctly. The teacher should insist on accuracy in the students’ responses, but at the same time these must be as
fluent and natural as possible Shoebridge Giggins 1979: xiv.
4. Supplementary Activities
Supplementary activities refer to the additional learning activities provided to students in a certain time as when one unit subject completed, one additional
activity will be conducted. According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s
9 Dictionary 2000: 1359 13 , supplementary means ‘ provided in addition to
something else in order to improve or complete it’ and activity means ‘ a thing that you do for interest or pleasure, or in order to achieve a particular aim’. This
activity is intended to increase students’ enthusiasm and interest in learning, especially about the elusive material for students. This additional activity is as a
complement to enhance and improve students’ skills and ability to gain more detailed information and direction.
