How Do I Use the Comprehension 1 & 2 Activities?

What is Comprehension 1 & 2 ? This section is the Yirst step in which students can engage with the Ibunka Survey responses. They start by reading the responses (or listening to them; each response has been recorded in three native English accents). Then the teacher checks their comprehension using traditional true/false questions and gap-Yill exercises. Another phase of reading will be done later in the Discussion activity, when students will be asked to reread these responses and think about them from a different perspective. How do I use these activities? COMPREHENSION 1 1. Have students read through the questions from the Ibunka Survey, and the responses from various individuals from different cultural backgrounds. Note that the wording may sometimes be a little more academic than that of the Warm-up Survey, so difYicult vocabulary and phrases should be checked as necessary. Students may read silently or be nominated by the teacher to read aloud. 2. Next, students answer the true/false comprehension questions, which are based on these Yirst few responses. Check answers with the class.

If teaching online, student answers can be submitted using the appropriate Google Form available to be copied from the website. Time required: 10~15 minutes COMPREHENSION 2 1. Have students read the next question and its responses, Yilling in the appropriate vocabulary from the list for each response. Check answers as a class. Time required: 10~15 minutes
