Many thanks for sharing all your lesson demos. I use them with teachers for inset training. The teachers find them really helpful and love the techniques which are new to them. Just one bit of feedback: often the teachers can't read the questions on the board. (Maybe you could write in larger letters and/or get the camera to focus on them clearly?) Thanks again.

I don't mean to nit-pick but...I think it was a mistake to introduce the use of 'since' when used with the p.p. here because you are basically presenting/contrasting only one use of the tense here (experience vs completed past actions in a finished period of time, typical for a pre-int. level class) whereas 'since' and 'for' express starting points and durations of the events that continue up to the present. Unless you made this clear, the learners may be confused. I also think it would have been worth isolating MFP of the Q+A forms and have the learners do some controlled practice in closed pairs (opportunity to work on those contractions/intonation etc.), since it's clear that the lesson is leading to interviews between the students in the communicative stage of the lesson.
