What worked well in this class? What did not work?
Almost everyone seem to enjoy. But compared to intermediate class, they are not fully satisfied with the lecture. ( I do not know the needs of students,,, ) (Or it is just because they are too tired to do things due to mid term examination.)

ちょっと文法コーナー!〜否定疑問文の答え方〜
日本語の日常会話でもよく使われる否定疑問文。返事の仕方を練習しましょう。
今日ってテストじゃないよね?We don’t have exam today, right?
⇨ うん、テストじゃないよ〜。No, we don’t have one.
⇨ いや、テストだよ! Yes, we have!
ごめん、先月借りた30ドル、まだ返してなかったよね?
Oh, I didn’t give you 30 dollars back yet which I borrowed from you last month, did I?
⇨うん、まだ返してもらってない〜><
⇨いや、もうもらったよ。先週の水曜日にスタバで会った時にくれたじゃん。
ポイント:日本語では、相手の質問の正誤を最初に判断してから、自分の意見を言います。
- パートナーと一緒に、否定疑問文の例を作ってお互いに質問しましょう。

Excel file used for Easter-themed virtual Escape Room:
(Each group of students playing against each other gets a separate file. We used Google Sheets so they can all work on the same sheet within their group. The Excel file can be imported into Google Sheets, if necessary).
The Key file has one tab with the solutions and one “Student” version tab that can be copied for the files to be used and filled by the students.
