Directions

Louise Reynolds

GRADE LEVEL:	1st year SHS, middle level
TIME:	1-2 45 minute lessons depending on the level
MATERIALS:	Hand-outs
OBJECTIVES:	To learn new vocabulary and be able to give directions fluently using the new vocabulary

PROCEDURE:

Do listening warm-up 1 to check if students know the difference between turn left, turn right, it’s on the left, it’s on the right and go straight.
Do warm-up 2 giving student A and B different mazes. Student A then closes their eyes and student B guides A through the maze. Student B then closes their eyes and student B guides them. Drill above pronunciation afterwards.
Using worksheet 1 ask students to match the Japanese and English through guess work and previous knowledge. Drill new vocabulary.
Test students retention of knowledge of new vocabulary by matching pictures and sentences on worksheet 2.
Finally do a gap-fill activity to practice using directions vocabulary with worksheet 3 and 4. Student A has the gaps for B and B has the gaps for A. They should both end up with the same map. The students should use new vocabulary learned from worksheet 1 and 2. Introduce block to help students give complete directions. Ask students to memorise the dialogue while giving directions to each other.

NOTES:

There is quite a lot of Japanese on the sheets to make a bridge between oral communication and non-oral communication classes. You can delete the Japanese from each sheet if you prefer and use pictures instead.
