🎮 Play this in class

⏱️ 50-minute lesson plan

  1. 1. Warm-up (5 min)

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

    • What's a good restaurant near you?
    • What app do you use every day?
  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 recommends 3 things (food, place, movie) to the tutor with 'because'. The tutor pushes back once; the student gives a second reason.

  4. 4. Role-play (10 min)

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

    🎭 A foreign visitor asks the student what to do in Tokyo for one day.

  5. 5. Free talk (5 min)

    Use the discussion questions for free conversation.

    • What Japanese food should a tourist try?
    • What's a good movie you saw recently?
    • What's a place only locals know?
  6. 6. Wrap-up (5 min)

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

    📌 Write a short recommendation for a place, with reasonsおすすめの場所を理由つきで紹介文を書く

25-minute lessons: skip step 5 and shorten steps 3 and 4.
