Teaching the Language of Time is a useful resource in presenting the many aspects and applications of time. Intended to be used to teach the language of time to students of many ages, be it ESL or native English speakers. It presents a number of time-related concepts and corresponding language, covering the idea of sequential and concurrent events, "pieces" of time -- from seconds and minutes all the way to centuries; quantities of time presented on clocks and calendars, schedules, events that occur in cycles, past and present events, all the way to personal time-lines.

The 105 pages of activities, pictures, and lessons in this book will help students understand:

  • Sequenced events
  • Simultaneous events
  • Measuring time (clocks, calendars, and timetables)
  • Cycles (repeating of time/events)
  • Schedules (time and order of a sequence of events)
  • Rate of motion in time
  • Comparing past and present events (time lines, aging)
