Jerry Talandis Jr. talandis@gmail.com Transcription Paper Use this handout anytime you would like your students to write out or transcribe a dialog. A generic list of required items has been provided; feel free to edit this list to fit your needs. Dialog writing is a great way to practice and play with new language, and regular transcribing assignments will help students develop listening skills and and greater self awareness of their strengths and weaknesses. They also provide a handy record of performance that can be used at the end of the course for self-evaluation. Find the Implicit Questions These handouts will enable students to work on their awareness of implicit questions connected to the topics in each unit. Modeled after the exercise on page 25, this worksheet is great for students who need extra practice in learning Golden Rule 2 (give longer answers). Give Longer Answers These handouts provide more Golden Rule 2 practice by having students rewrite short dialogs that contain too many questions and short answers. The trick is to combine several turns into one. Talk About Yourself These handouts give students some extra Golden Rule 3 practice by having them write short dialogs containing few or no questions. This is ideal for students who are having a hard time learning how to talk about themselves.

Conversation Analysis These handouts are based on the Listening Practice dialogs in each unit. The aim is for students to analyze each conversation by identifying examples of the Golden Rules and conversation strategies. Blank role-play card template If you would like your students to create their own character cards for guided role-play, simply photocopy and cut up this template of blank cards. Speaking test marking sheets Based on the ideas put forth in How to Test Speaking Skills in Japan , editable rubrics especially designed for this textbook are available in three formats: holistic, analytic, and a combination of these two approaches.
