Description
Warm-up"Quick Poll Reaction" 5 mins The teacher shares the poll result: "An NHK poll found that 71% of respondents believe the government should 'strengthen its response' [to a current issue like the ageing population or economy]. What is your immediate, one-sentence reaction to that statistic?" This gets the student talking instantly without preparation.
Controlled PracticeVocabulary & Context 5 mins The teacher and student quickly discuss key terms relevant to the topic (e.g., "fiscal policy," "infrastructure," "social welfare," "public opinion"). The teacher asks the student to explain the terms or use them in a sentence related to their own country or the poll's topic. This ensures a shared understanding of the necessary language.
Free PracticeDeep Dive Discussion & Debate 15 mins Core Question: "An NHK poll found that 71% of respondents believe the government should 'strengthen its response'. What is your opinion and why?" The teacher acts as an engaged conversation partner and moderator, playing devil's advocate to encourage the student to defend their position, explore counter-arguments, and use specific examples. This maximises speaking time and critical thinking.
