Activity- Listen, Repeat & Point
Text: pages 36-37
Materials: 18 Picture Flashcards from text, pages 36-37
HRT:  to ALT- ‘What’s this?’ SHOWING FLASHCARDS TO ALT 1-BY-1 but NOT to students AT FIRST. Show the flashcard to the students AFTER the ALT says the word so students can check themselves.
ALT: It’s a/an OO.
Students: Point to picture in text and repeat after ALT.

KeyWord Game-
Materials: Picture flashcards from pages 36-37
Text: pages 36-37
Students: Seated in pairs with desks facing each other. An eraser is in the center of the two desks. Students first listen & repeat the keyword. Then, all students ask, ‘What’s this?’. Listen to ALT: If ALT says the keyword, each student tries to take the eraser. BUT, if the ALT says a different word, students only repeat the word. Winners get 1 point each round, or -1 for misses.
HRT: Show a flashcard to students & ALT-the keyword. Say, ‘Repeat after Mr. Elton.’ (ALT: ‘Banana’. Students: ‘Banana.’) Then say- ‘OK. Ready?!’
ALT: First say the keyword for students to repeat. Then, say the keyword or a different, perhaps similarly sounding word after students ask ‘What’s this?’.

Wrap-Up
(Present common mistakes to the whole class. Write the mistaken point on the blackboard, and ask if anybody can see the mistake.) Or-
HRT to Students, in Japanese:
-What did we talk about today? 
-Were there some words you already knew?
-Did you learn any new words?
-What was fun or interesting?
-What was difficult?
-How can we make that easier next time?

Closing
Students: ‘Thank you! Good bye!’
Teachers: ‘You’re welcome! Good bye!’

Discussion- Loanwords- gairaigo in Japanese- Words from other languages are very common in both English and in Japanese. Food words especially are very common. Some non-English words in Japanese include: arbaito & karuta (German); randoseru (the students' school backpack) & hochikisu (stapler) (Dutch/oranda-go); castela & zook (shoes) (Portuguese); kimuchi (kimchee) (Korean).
Intonation is also very important. Sometimes just a misplaced accent will make the word difficult or impossible to understand. Bridge (ha-SHI) and chopsticks (HA-shi) (in Japanese) are examples. Try saying 'BA-na-na' or 'ba-NA-na' or 'ba-na-NA'. Look for examples in the pronunciation of the 18 words from the Eigo Noto during activities (page 36-7), too- there are many examples there.
