Review of communicative activities

Today, I would like to review two of the “typical Japanese junior high school” communicative activities presented in ETM 3. The activities I am going to review questionnaire and カルタ. You can view them
here.

*Questionnaire*
I think questions students ask as questionnaire should be based on what each student is interested in. Students make questions using grammar they learned and ask friends as many as possible. After they asked questions, they tell the results of the questionnaires saying that”I searched about ~. I would like to tell you about it. ”
In this way, student will talk with many people and be able to be motivated to asking questions because they ask what they want to know.
*カルタ*
I think it would be better to do カルタin the following way.　
１．A Teacher read sentences which express a card printed pictures.
Ex)”The boy running in the park is Bob.”
2. After the teacher read the sentence, student try to find the card and the student who found the card will be asked by other students “What is Bob doing?” If he can answer the question, he can get the card, but if he can’t answer, he must return the card.
In this way, students can be used to both listening and speaking and making English sentence.
