HRT to Students, in Japanese:

-What was fun or interesting?
-What was difficult?
-How can we make that easier next time?

Closing- 1 minute
Students
- ‘Thank you! Good bye!’
Teachers- ‘You’re welcome! Good bye!’


Discussion/Activity- Greetings, Eye Contact & Personal Space
What are some ways that greetings in Japanese and in a foreign language are different? Look at page 6 in the Eigo Noto- Who is touching? Who is not? Who is looking into the other’s eyes? Who is not? Why are they different? Why don’t Japanese people touch or look at each other in a greeting? Is it about preserving ‘personal space’ in a very crowded country? How does it feel when someone stands very close to you? In different countries, the ‘safe’ distance can be 1 meter (Japan), or 10-20 cm! (Latin Cultures, East Africa).
Do you like it when someone touches you? How about friend? A stranger? Can you look for a long time into another person’s eyes?
Let’s try in pairs- the teacher will count to 20 (in English!). How did it feel? Was it something new for you?
