A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the single B1 reference page. It has diagrams, time words and examples, not gap-fill questions or an answer key.
- Locate now and the future reference point. Explain that the activity is already in progress at that point, not necessarily beginning then.
- Build will be + verb-ing from the examples. Compare the negative with the question Will you be using the car tonight?
- Use an imaginary evening schedule to ask what someone will be doing at a chosen time. Reuse the diagram when explaining the answer.
Support and extension
Support with one fixed clock time before introducing when you call. Extend by contrasting an activity in progress with a completed action; time words are clues, not automatic tense rules.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
