Accelerator Day 1
Tense Frame Shifts: Narrative Past vs Analytical Present
Rationale: Why this “Accelerator” series?
This series is designed to help intermediate-to-high-intermediate learners cross the threshold into advanced proficiency. Many learners plateau not because they lack effort, but because practice is often too narrow (only grammar drills) or too shallow (right/wrong without diagnosis). Accelerator sets push learners upward by training multiple dimensions of competence in one coherent experience.
- Language control: grammar accuracy + tense frame management (narrative past vs analytical present).
- Meaning control: paraphrasing and interpretation (what the sentence/passage truly implies).
- Lexical precision: vocabulary-in-context and collocation awareness.
- Pedagogical soundness: immediate feedback, targeted error explanations, and review of missed items.
- Metacognition: a final report that shows accuracy by skill tag—so learners know what to fix next.
Tip for Thai EFL learners: focus on the “why” in explanations. Advanced level growth is largely about choosing forms that fit the intended frame (time + stance + purpose), not only choosing the “grammatically possible” form.
