Default Re: Current grammar point?

I am going to be teaching tonite: "used to" grammar point and include the more complicated "had been doing" as well.

I introduced the grammar point: "have been ..." and "have ..." for the student and I think this is the natural progression.

The student is an elementary student and she has been studying with me for about four weeks. I use a lot of samples for writing activities, do listening activities (her major weakness) and also try to implement grammar with speaking.

I think tonight though, I shall review the grammar that I taught last week with a quick activity at the beginning and as she has started a new job, this would be useful to implement the "I used to work at ..." grammar point.

Has anyone have any suggestions to improve listening? The young girl has difficulty understanding native fluent speakers. Just need some fresh ideas.
