Learning activities
Step by step instructions from start to finish (including amount of minutes needed per activity), and detailed enough for another teacher to follow. What teaching methods/activities will you be using?
1) After learning the pronunciation of the words, students will work in pairs to interview each other and practice the pronunciation of five nations and three languages.
2) Then the teacher will use Mr. panda to do an interview and let the students to practice the nations and languages.

The teacher will use flash cards and display it in front of the class. Then students will close their eyes and the teacher will take one card off. When students open their eyes, the teacher will ask “which is missing?” students will say which is missing in mandarin to practice.
4) Students will do a quiz about the country and their national flags to show whether they recognize the characters and the name of the nation.
Step 4 —Reflection
What happened during my lesson? What did my students learn? How do I know?
What did I learn? How will I improve my lesson next time?
1) The sentences we learned are a little bit longer and students take longer time to repeat them correctly. But when they work in pairs they master the pronunciations faster.
2) they have learned how to ask nationalities and what language does one person speak.
3) I walked around to help them and check their learning. I also use a small quiz to check whether they master the language or not.
4) I learned that students can help each other and learn from each other when learning a language.
5 ） i will design more pair work sections during my next lesson.
