1. Warm-up (5 min)
Check last homework. Ask the warm-up questions to relax.
- How many emails do you write in English?
- What's hard about work emails?
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.
The student writes 2 short emails in the chat during class (follow-up, request). The tutor corrects live and explains tone.
4. Role-play (10 min)
Tutor plays the other person. Praise when the key phrases are used; fix only 2 things afterwards.
🎭 A Slack-style chat: the tutor is a busy coworker; the student needs a file by tomorrow.
5. Free talk (5 min)
Use the discussion questions for free conversation.
- Email or chat for work?
- What's a bad email habit?
6. Wrap-up (5 min)
Review today's phrases and give the homework. Write the lesson note right after.
