⏱️ 50-minute lesson plan

  1. 1. Warm-up (5 min)

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

    • Do you like coffee or tea?
    • What food do you like?
  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.

    Picture cards (food, sports, music): the student says 'I like…/I don't like…' for each, then asks you.

  4. 4. Role-play (10 min)

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

    🎭 At a café with a new friend: find 3 things you both like.

  5. 5. Free talk (5 min)

    Use the discussion questions for free conversation.

    • What music do you like?
    • What sports do you like?
    • What don't you like?
  6. 6. Wrap-up (5 min)

    Review today's phrases and give the homework. Write the lesson note right after.

    📌 Write 3 things you like and 2 you don't好きなもの3つ・苦手なもの2つを英語で書く
