Saying the year date in English

Saying the date year in English seems to be quite a challenge for most students as they often tend to transfer the knowledge of their own L1. Below you can download a worksheet on how to read/pronounce the years in English as well as a 'HEAR &SAY' exercise for extra practice. If you want a more fun activity or if you have any kinaesthetic learners in you class, try a more hands-on activity here http://eltea.org/classroom-activities/shouting-the-dates-out
If you feel that your teaching of Grammar is teacher-led, take a step back and introduce the past tenses through an inductive approach that will actively involve your students and make their learning more memorable. Encourage your students to take responsibility for their own  learning and discover the rules themselves. It probably goes without saying but it’s  advisable not to introduce all of them at once if the students are introduced to past tenses for the first time.
