You will need to be in a computer lab, using an interactive whiteboard or data projector to teach this lesson. First of all pre-teach the language needed. Perhaps you could draw a clock on the board and elicit different times from the learners. Concentrate on particularly difficult areas like 'a quarter to' and 'half past'.

First of all pre-teach the language needed. Perhaps you could draw a clock on the board and elicit different times from the learners. Concentrate on particularly difficult areas like 'a quarter to' and 'half past'.
Then, choose a few MEC resources to do with your learners. For example:
These are just a few examples there are lots more time resources you can find in MEC.
Finally bookmark this link for you and your learners:
World Clock
To end the lesson, use the world clock to play a game. Ask the learners what time it is in Mexico. The first learner to shout out the correct answer (using the world clock of course) gets to replace you and ask the other learners for a time in another country. Or any other variation you can think of!
