1. 1. Warm-up (5 min)

   Check last homework. Ask the warm-up questions to relax.

   • Have you ever led a meeting?
   • What makes a meeting go off track?

2. 2. Input (10 min)

   Introduce the key phrases one by one. The student repeats each 3 times; check meaning (short Japanese is OK).

3. 3. Practice (15 min)

   Run the unit's practice activity. Maximize student talking time.

   The student leads a 10-minute meeting with an agenda; the tutor plays 2 difficult attendees (talks too much, goes off topic).

4. 4. Role-play (10 min)

   Tutor plays the other person. Praise when the key phrases are used; fix only 2 things afterwards.
