Let's look at these greetings! What do you think they mean?
Iramkarapte. (イランカラプテ) He. (ヘー)
E-iwanke ya? (エイワンケ ヤ？)
Ku-iwanke wa. (クイワンケ ワ)
E-re hemanta ya? (エレ ヘマンタ ヤ？)
K-ani anakne ____ ku-ne. (カニ アナㇰネ ____ クネ)
Check your guesses - were any of them correct, or close?
Here is a short video about the Ainu language. It's a chant that in a way tells the story of the Ainu. Here is only one question about it:
How similar do you think the Ainu language is to Japanese, or other Asian languages you know or have heard? What's your feeling about it? (If you watch and listen to this video directly on YouTube, you can turn on Japanese subtitles [字幕]. Try it!)
I hope you find this video interesting.
Discussion circles
Here are the leader discussion circles questions.
Remember that in groups with only three (3) members, that the leader is also the vocabulary master!
For
the summarizer
Are you ready to summarize the
reading/CD talk? (Can you give us your summary of the reading/CD talk?)
For
the details master
1. Why is time on
task important for foreign language study?
2. About how many hours are needed to
get a score of 300 on the TOEIC?
3. How about a score of 700?
4. So how would you define ‘time on
task’?
(Leaders - think of 1-2 more questions of your own to ask the details master!)
For the vocabulary master
What are characteristics?
What is a principle?
What does elite mean?
What does it
mean to do something actively?
(In groups with three (3) members: Summarizers or details masters - think of 1-2 more words of your own from the reading or listening to ask the leader!)
