Lesson Plan Outline: Introducing New Grammar

Greeting, Day, Date, and Weather

  • Say good morning/afternoon and ask them how are you—individually if possible, or surveying the class
  • Ask them the day, date, and weather and write it on the board

Warm-up

  • Choose a game that has a lot of students ask or answer questions
  • Can practice writing, review generally (i.e. vocabulary or various grammar from the year before) or review specific points (i.e. the grammar they most recently learned).
  • Example activities

Explain the Grammar

  • A lot of teachers use different colored chalk for subjects, verbs, and articles to help clarify sentence structure
  • Depending on their level, ask if anyone can read it and figure out the meaning

Practice Speaking

  • It can be boring but have them repeat it a few times to practice pronunciation, then insert words to practice it as a whole (i.e. 「do you like」, then 「do you like apples」)
  • After they can pronounce it, ask them questions individually or they make examples with a partner

Introductory Activities

  • For the first lesson it can be good to do listening-based activities, including the ones in the textbooks
  • To reinforce the new material, do an activity or two that takes little explanation and focuses more on saying/hearing the words and less on the meaning of them
  • Vocabulary activities:
    • Keyword Game
    • Telephone
    • Duck Duck Goose
  • Grammar Activities:
    • Battleship
    • Guess Who
    • Board Games (put vocabulary on each square and have them make sentences)

Closing

  • Ask them to put their desks back, clean up, and return reusable materials to you (e.g. cards or board games)
  • Say thank you and goodbye/see you

Lesson Plan Outline: Reviewing Grammar

Greeting, Day, Date, and Weather

  • Say good morning/afternoon and ask them how are you—individually if possible, or surveying the class
  • Ask them the day, date, and weather and write it on the board

Warm-up

  • Choose a game that has a lot of students ask or answer questions
  • Can practice writing, review generally (i.e. vocabulary or various grammar from the year before) or review specific points (i.e. the grammar they most recently learned).
  • Example activities
    • Criss Cross (For smaller classes allow them to choose one person to sit down instead of a direction)
    • Hot Potato
    • Memory Writing

Review the Grammar

  • Ask students if they remember how to say it, then write it on the board
  • Again use different colored chalk for subjects, verbs, and articles to help clarify sentence structure
  • After they have remembered it, ask them questions individually or have them make examples with a partner

Review Activities

  • Comprehensive games that cover some combination of speaking, listening, reading, and writing and have students associate meaning with words (vocabulary lessons) or produce their own sentences/answers (grammar lessons)
  • Choose and adapt the game to the type and needs of each class (e.g. size, loudness, genki-ness, interest, how well they understand the grammar, and what they’ve done before)
  • Vocabulary activities:
    • Karuta
    • Memory
    • Janken Game
    • Run and Touch Telephone
    • Bakudan Game
    • Bingo
    • Fruits Basket
    • Missing Game
    • Gesture Game
    • Pictionary

Closing

  • Ask them to put their desks back, clean up, and return reusable materials to you (e.g. cards or board games)
  • Say thank you and goodbye/see you
