⏱️ 50-minute lesson plan

  1. 1. Warm-up (5 min)

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

    • What did you eat for breakfast?
    • What's your favorite drink?
  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.

    Show a simple café menu (screen share). Practice prices and items; the student reads and asks questions.

  4. 4. Role-play (10 min)

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

    🎭 The tutor is a barista; the student orders a drink and a snack and pays.

  5. 5. Free talk (5 min)

    Use the discussion questions for free conversation.

    • What is your favorite restaurant?
    • Can you cook?
    • What Japanese food do you recommend?
  6. 6. Wrap-up (5 min)

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