ibunka TB_ver1.0_how to use the textbook

In the next expression task, students continue their description of tendencies in Japanese society, but this time we want them to add themselves to the picture. That is, we want them to compare themselves to the group they are describing. Do they have the same basic habits and opinions as that group, or are they different in some respect? The model sentence is given in a visual form that has been used in Alma conversation textbooks. Re- using some key vocabulary and phrases from Expression 1, in the color-coded boxes, students can generate several statements from a single basic structure. Again, it might be advantageous to write a simple example on the board before having students write their own sentences. Example sentences for both Expression 1 and Expression 2 can be found in the Teacher’s Manual. Time required : 5 ~10 minutes
