Hello, this is my first post here.
I am half-way through CELTA course, and I was assigned an elementary class after teaching upper-intermediate students for 2 weeks. I have no problems with CCQ's on a higher level, but on monday I am presenting present simple positive as used to talk about routines and habits and I cannot think of any CCQ's for it! First of all, it is impossible to avoid using target language as students don't know any other tense. Secondly, I cannot use words like 'routine' or 'habit' because I cannot expect students to know them! A few new students will be joining a class on monday and as a matter of fact, I doubt they will even know the word 'usually'.
It's a multicultural class, which makes the use of L1 impossible (it's shunned by CELTA tutors anyway).
Thank you all in advance.
