Week 3 Google apps
Intro.
( “Hello, How are you?” Me: “I'm great!”)
Teacher: “Thanks everyone for your responses on the Line message chat.”
• Meet up lesson and places Teacher: Today we are going to learn how to ask to meet up with out friend from last time. But first we will learn some places.
(Teacher pulls up slides from google apps onto the screen.) Teacher demos the place name while showing the slides. “the Department store, Shinjuku station, the Book store, the library, the coffee shop, the park, the temple, the Comic cafe)
Then students repeat after the teacher. Then teacher randomly selects slides and students try to say the places on there own. Teacher explains “Today and tomorrow” using a calendar picture from google slide. Teacher demos the language,
A: “Can you meet me at__________ today?”
B:“Sure.”/“Sorry, I can't. How about Tomorrow.”
A: “O.K. I'll meet you at___________.”/ “OK”
Teacher pulls up slides, they have the picture of the place and the sentence with a smile face with “Sure.”, and a frown with the “Sorry, I can't. How about _________?”
The students repeat after teacher during each slide that is shown. Then the students try it on their own as the teacher scrolls through the slides randomly. The teacher hands out a worksheet with all the pictures and dialogue for practice with each other. Students switch partners when the teacher asks them to. Then the students put away the dialogue sheet and the teacher takes out individual pictures of the places but not words on them. Students get one each. (Some students don't have them but the other students will pass them theirs when they are finished.)
The students pair up in groups of two. If a group only gets one picture then they can use this dialogue, A: “Can you meet me at__________ today?”
B:“Sure.” If they each have a picture, then they can use this one, A: “Can you meet me at__________ today?”(Using the picture they have.) B:“Sorry, I can't. How about __________.”(Using the picture they have.)
A: “O.K. I'll meet you at___________.”
(Teacher demos the language. Then students repeat after teacher.)
A: “What are you doing today?”
B: “I'm just watching T.V. How about you?”
A: “Can you meet for dinner/lunch/coffee?”
B: “Sure. Where do you want to meet?”/ “Sorry, I can't how about tomorrow?”
A: “How about ________?” B: “OK.” (Teacher and a student demo the language.)
(Then students pair up in groups and practice with each other.) (Tell the students to sit down and that they did a great job.)
(Tell the students there will be home work. Demonstrate how to do the home work assignment using the flat screen TV. The home work will be to listen to and practice saying and reading the dialogue. The teacher will send a document to their email with a sound file and text file for practice.
1. Who are your learners and what is the skill you are focusing on for this lesson? Japanese students 18-23 years old. At university/college/community college. Example of a Japanese Student: Yuki- She loves shopping, comic books, fashion and music. Yuki likes to hangout with her friends in Shinjuku and drink coffee.
2. How will this resource enhance your language lesson? The slides with pictures will enhance the lesson. Having a picture of a department store and a department store that the students know and might even shop at, I think is useful because they can relate to it. I think it helps them take their mind off being in the classroom.
3.What directions handouts (or verbal directions) will you need to create? I will need a hand out with the vocabulary and dialogue in English/Japanese. I will need to tell the students to stand up and get in groups (Which I can do with hand gestures and language.)
4.What tech support will you have or will you need to provide students? The screen and computer in the class room needs to work and should be checked before class starts. I could use my own laptop and hooked to the screen to show the slide pictures and the vocabulary and dialogue. The teacher should also test sending the google docs home work to an email make sure it works. I've used google drive a few times in the past.
5. What are the potential problems, either language based or technical, that you may need to troubleshoot or prepare for? Sometimes things don't work. Having a T.V. And computer in the class is great but things break and/or get disconnected ect. Checking to make sure these work before class should be a priority. I could print out pictures if there are problems with the computer.

Hi Ace! I love that you're using actual places that your students frequent in this lesson. It will be so much more memorable and relevant than using generic pictures from a textbook.
ReplyDeleteOne thing you could try is to have your students take pictures of the places they frequent and then text/email them to you. It saves you the trouble of going around town and taking pictures yourself, and I think students will be even more invested in the lesson when they see their pictures on the "big screen." I tried this recently with my adult beginning ESL students and they were really into it!

ReplyDeleteHi Ace, I appreciated how you built up progressively from reviewing the names of the places all the way to having a dialogue about meeting up with a friend. I was a little unclear on the directions at first when you started using two places, but then I understood. I think your plan to 1) have a worksheet with practice dialogue and 2) model everything is important, because it will help different types of learners catch on.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite idea in this, and the one I would like to apply myself, is sending students a sound file to use with their homework. This may not be the case in Japan, but many of my students lack a strong educational background, and really struggle to take their own notes. This would be like audio "notes." You could even record dialogue from that day's class for that purpose. I think that would be a great way for me to help my students continue practicing what is covered in class.
