Oral English 1: Lesson 4

Hi everyone,

Can you believe that it's already been one month since we first started our course? Time flies!

Discussions:
Before our discussions, we reviewed Conversational Style.  As you know, English conversational style is very different from the Japanese one.  During a discussion, you can "jump in" at any time to ask a question or to make a comment.  You don't have to wait to be invited to speak during a discussion. 

For next week's discussions, remember these points:

1. Explain your summary step-by-step. Do NOT read your summary. When you explain your summary, use these steps (a) explain 2-3 points; (b) pause; (c) check your group's understanding.
2. During your summary and opinion, check your group's understanding. You can use these expressions: (a) Are you following me? (b) Are there any questions so far?
   

Classroom Manners:
Before the end of class, we reviewed classroom manners. Please show good manners so that our lesson is enjoyable for everyone.

We have no lesson next week because of the Golden Week vacation! See you on May 12!

1.  Discussion Preparation
