I agree with gleki on the idea that using words like "tense" and "aspect" for teaching lojban grammar is probably unnecessary.

It depends on whom you teach :) Sure some people might have been taking some linguistic courses in high school or university and be ready to accept such terms.

But they differ between languages. Such terms as "tense", "preposition", "verb", "noun" are so often misused in cross-linguistic studies so that we can use them only as approximations in certain methods of teaching Lojban, approximations that are in no way can be the goal or the final word of what is being taught.
