A mock lesson of a beginning Japanese language class. Expert knowledge of the Japanese language is not required. This lesson plan is designed with reducing teacher talk in mind while promoting participation. 

​

Participants will have time to make a poster using key vocabulary surrounding the topic: hometown. Presentations will be done like a gallery walk where participants will rotate between presenter and audience.

​

A fun and interactive activity where groups compete to see how well they know the members in their groups. Groups will ask each other as many questions possible under a given time before being tested.

​

A student-centered and uncontrolled activity where participants get into groups, get assigned a grammar point and create a review/practice activity out of it. Not only that, but groups will be simulating their activities for all to experience!
