'BUT' PRACTICE

Target Group: 2nd year

Difficulty Level: Basic Conversation
Activity Objective: To practice the usage
of the word 'but,' as well as review the
form of 'like' questions and responses
Procedure: Students fill in the subject of
the question from the choices listed near
the top. Students then ask each other the
completed question and write down
Materials and Preparation: All that is
needed is the worksheet and a writing
utensil.
Division of Labour for ALT and JTE:
The ALT would be responsible for
reviewing, in simple English, how to ask
and respond to these questions. The JTE
would be a demonstration partner and
further explain in Japanese should the
students still not understand (which might
occur in the differences between the
spoken reply and the written reply). During
the activity, both the JTE and JTE would
be responsible for walking around the
classroom, making themselves available to
be asked questions, all while checking the
student's pronunciation.
