It implies that the activity is likely to continue in the future or that the activity was in progress for some length of time, or both.

Learning modes: Young learners vs. adults he role of a teacher is a vast and varied one and there is a considerable amount of factors that will affect this role. One of the main factors that really effects how and what we decide to teach is the age of the students.
