It is Time to Tackle Aspect! Some Insights to Help Clear up the Tense/Aspect Mystery
MinneTESOL Journal
(2017)
Abstract
In this article, Dr. Andreas Schramm draws on the research of his graduate students, colleagues,
and from his own recent sabbatical to describe what makes the tense-aspect system in English
notoriously challenging to teach and learn, and to show that it can nonetheless be explicitly
taught. Drawing from his experience as an English learner and one-time English teacher in
training, he shares anecdotes and practical tips to help English as a Second and Foreign
Language teachers unpack the meaning of tense and aspect for their learners.
