Online Teaching for Class 1939 (Listening) on Apr.1, 2020

Date: April 1st on Wednesday, 2020 from 8:00 to 9:30 (9:00 – 10:30 in JST)

Course: Japanese Listening 2

Used app: Streaming on DingTalk, Presentation by Powerpoint (86 slides)

Numbers of Students: 27

All 27 students stayed with me from start to the end.

Students’ Responses:

– Attendance Check : All the 27 students typed “Shusskei” on BBS

– Quiz 1 : 25 students typed their answers. Actually 21 answers were incorrect. 4 students revised their answers to correct.

– Quiz 2 at the End: 26 students typed the correct answer “-ni”. This was to ask a particle that fill blanks of three sentences. “-Ni’ is the answer for those three for functions of;

1: Time of action, 2: Destination that the movement is heading toward, and 3: Place of existence.

Teaching:

1: Review of the last class;

– How to use two adjectives

– Types of verbs:  Transitive v.s Intransitive verbs, Combination of a verb and particles, and especially putting emphasis on combination between transitive verbs and particle”-o”.

2: Listening Mondai3

I introduced a double meanings of “Iidesu”

3: Listening of conversation

Students memorization was promoted by increasing blanks on the script. Additional rote training of particles that fit into between objects and verb.

Homework Assignment:

Reading aloud conversation script twenty times, although there would be no evidence whether a student did or did not do this homework.

Issues and Problems:

It may be too early to teach the first grade students at this moment about how to connect two adjectives.
