No,

Yes,

1 science 2 sports 3 other English 4 other foreign language 5 computer 6 literacy 7 economics 8 history

1 Biology 101 2 Volleyball 3 English Writing A

TO TEACHERS

There are three ways to use the EXPRESSION section: • Let students brainstorm sentences using the Toolbox and Vocabulary boxes. • Dictate several sentences and have students write them down. “Lego” translation: give sentences in Japanese (provided in the Teacher’s Manual), and have students translate them to English. •

4 Introductory Korean 5 Basic Computer Skills 6 Academic Writing 7 Game Theory 8 History of the Edo Period

2. Expression

Write a few sentences about the subjects you are taking this semester.

Lesson 0 - Orientation

Aims of this lesson: ɉ to understand the format of this textbook ɉ to introduce the topic of how culture affects conYersation ɉ to break the ice between students

Suggested timeframe : • Orientation lesson: 65 min. • Lesson 1 Preview: 5 min.

3. Pair Practice

Practice with a classmate by reading the dialog EeloZ ȴYe times replaFinJ tKe underlined Zords ZitK Zords in YoFaEular\ Eo[es % and & 7Ken switch roles and do it again.

TO TEACHERS

1 Me too! 2 Same here. 3 I took that last year. 4 Good luck! 5 That's a drag! 6 I hear that’s tough. 7 That’s a lot of fun. 8 Sounds interesting.

The Pair Practice activity is designed to have students spend a few active minutes learning to pass the “ball of conversation” back and forth. It is completely scaffolded, in the same way as people learning to play the piano would practice scales. But it shouldn’t be done mechanically, without thinking, as its target is for students to develop the ability to speak automatically (see Teacher’s Manual for suggestions).

Are you taking Biology 101 this semester?

Yeah, I am, actually.

Me too!

Suggested timeframe for this activity : 10 min.

TO TEACHERS

This activity can be done quickly. Here, the sentences that need to be written in come directly from the Toolboxes of Point 1 and Point 2.

The point here is that students understand the difference between open and closed questions. We also want them to realize that another goal of this course is to help them to speak in a more “natural” way.

“Natural” actually means “more culturally appropriate”: a way that aligns with the usual cultural habits that people have when having conversations in the English-speaking world (see page 85: Golden Rule 3).

TO TEACHERS

Now, you can turn to page 84 and spend five minutes on the Lesson 1 Preview Sheet. If students study a few key vocabulary items before the next class, activities will run much more smoothly. Students can be motivated to prepare by the prospect of a quick written test on these items at the beginning of the next class (see Teacher’s Manual for suggestions on how to do that quickly and efficiently).

Suggested timeframe for this activity : 10 min.
