Lesson 2: Summary of Goals
Vocabulary | Feelings |
---|---|
Dialogue | How are you? I'm good. |
Other | Colloquial expressions |
2 class hours are recommended for Hi, friends! 1 Lesson 2 by MEXT - here's the official MEXT lesson plans pdf download.
Vocabulary goals include personal condition/ feelings (I'm fine/good/cold/etc) as well as a few colloquial expressions (good luck/etc)thrown in there as well.
Grammar includes "How are you?" for asking about others and telling them how you are.
I suspect this lesson was designed for students who haven't studied English before. If you are teaching at a school where students are already comfortable with "How are you?", my opinion is that this content can be covered in one class rather than the recommended two.
