Time will come up repeatedly in ESL courses. You will likely start by talking about times of the day with beginners before you move on to telling time. Telling time is often confusing for ESL learners so make sure you dedicate a sufficient number of class periods to it. You can start by reviewing numbers and then introduce time related words and phrases. Once this topic is covered, usually in beginner courses, you will not have to discuss it in class again. If your students at higher levels seem to be having some difficulty with telling time, you may want to create a review lesson simply to refresh their memories.
