Guided Pair Activities
Through a series of mini-lessons and handouts, students will practice communication strategies with a partner and can become aware of various strategies and the language often used by native speakers. In later lessons and with different partners, students will have a chance to integrate these specific points of English and new communication strategies into the freestyle Pair Discussions.

Pair Discussion
The task is a simple one, but challenging and enjoyable. Each lesson, students will have a different partner and discuss the topic of the day. For 20 to 30 minutes, the pair is on their own... in English.
After becoming aware of and practicing some basic communication strategies, students have the basic classroom language needed. They will discover that they are able to say their ideas better than they thought possible; especially with the partner actively trying to understand and help.
Students will discover they can understand the intended meaning of what their partner says ; even if their partner's fluency or accuracy in English is not such a high level. And students will find they can even help their partner express what the partner had wanted to say... in English.

Large-group Activities
A large-group activity is when the teacher is at the board. One of the typical large-group activities is for students to ask for clarification on the language they used during Pair Discussions; including how to pronounce a word or how to express an idea in English or to see if there are other ways to express the same idea. Cross-cultural aspects of that lesson's specific topic can also be explored.

Peer-mentoring Activities
A typical example of peer-mentoring is for students to help their partner practice , use and memorize new vocabulary listed on a vocabulary study sheet. The vocabulary list is created from items which various groups listed on their memo during Pair Discussion. Learning how to paraphrase an idea or to express the opposite meaning can also be done effectively through peer-mentoring.

Homework
Students should prepare for discussion by reading and understanding a handout containing various opinions on a specific topic. The opinions are those of students who discussed the topic in previous years. These written opinions contain some important vocabulary and grammar that a native speaker might use to discuss that topic. Students are asked to read and reflect upon the ideas and opinions of former students; identifying those ideas which are true for themselves. By writing a response about the topic, students prepare themselves to discuss ideas and share opinions on the topic during the following lesson.

The homework is handed in each lesson. It is a chance for the teacher to see students' ideas that he can not hear in the lesson when 15 pairs of students are discussing simultaneously. The teacher uses the homework to help students by giving suggestions to the writer as to how a native speaker might express an idea which a student was having difficulty expressing clearly in English.
到達目標
This will be an ENGLISH-ONLY class; speaking English both in Pair Discussions and when interacting within the larger group. Students who are not confident in the fluency or accuracy of their spoken English are very welcome in this class. A desire to speak and willingness to work on fluency is important. Students will be asked to share their ideas and respond to the opinions of others.

Students should prepare for discussion by reading handouts. Students will also be asked to write a personal response on related topics. This homework will be used in class by the students as a support and focus as they discuss the topic-in English.

Language fluency requires an ability to act or react in many unexpected situations. In Pair Discussions, students will deal with unexpected ideas and opinions in communication and will develop strategies for such situations.

INDEPENDENCE which allows students to learn and use English on their own.

INTERACTION which allows students to work with others.

INTEGRATION which allows students to incorporate knowledge from other language studies into real communication ability
