⏱️ 50-minute lesson plan
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. Input (10 min)
Introduce the key phrases one by one. The student repeats each 3 times; check meaning (short Japanese is OK).
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. 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. 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. Wrap-up (5 min)
Review today's phrases and give the homework. Write the lesson note right after.
