TRANSLATION 3 - Short Lesson
By:re

Keep a list of the new words and phrases that the students have learned so far in Japanese (or the local language) and English. Using each row as a team, I pit the first student of each row against one another and so on down the rows. I say Japanese (or the local language) and the students must answer in English. The fastest hand raised gets first crack at the answer. I usually give 1 point for each correct answer. If no one knows, I ll up it to 2 or 3 points. If none of the 6 students can answer, it s a free-for-all with anyone in the class having a chance. If one row has five students and the rest six, the fifth student gets a second chance. Five or so minutes at the end of class is all you need for this. You can really confuse them sometimes by repeating the same word which may have two meanings (e.g. takusan-no [a large number of, many, a lot of] or hayai [early, fast]).
