Lesson Procedure
| Phase | Minutes | Teacher and learner actions |
|---|---|---|
| Warm-up | 5 | Show three situations: meeting, receiving help, and making a mistake. Learners choose the communicative purpose. |
| Presentation | 10 | Model each phrase with meaning, tone, and body language. Contrast polite greetings with casual 안녕. |
| Guided practice | 8 | Class reads a model dialogue and identifies the greeting, thanks, apology, and response. |
| Pair role play | 12 | Pairs draw a situation card, prepare two or four lines, and switch roles. |
| Writing | 5 | Learners write one short exchange using two target phrases. |
| Assessment | 5 | Perform or submit one exchange with an appropriate phrase and polite delivery. |
Speaking Activity
Use meeting, classroom help, accidental bump, and leaving situations. Learners choose the phrase rather than reading a fixed script every time.
Reading Activity
Read the greeting worksheet dialogue, underline each target expression, and match it to its communicative purpose.
Writing Activity
Write a four-line exchange with a greeting, one action, a response, and a goodbye.
Answer Key
- Meeting someone: 안녕하세요.
- Receiving help: 감사합니다.
- Making a polite apology: 죄송합니다.
- Responding that it is okay: 괜찮아요.
Differentiation Ideas
Keep the same learning goal while changing the amount of support, response length, or challenge. Do not remove speaking and reading practice from learners who need more time.
Support for Struggling Learners
- Provide color-coded situation and phrase cards.
- Allow rehearsal with the teacher.
- Use two target phrases instead of five.
Challenge Activities
- Add a reason for the apology.
- Choose the correct goodbye based on who leaves.
- Perform without a written script.
Fast Finisher Tasks
- Write a second situation card.
- Replace one formal phrase with a safe casual form and label the relationship.
Mixed Ability Classroom
Assign roles with different language load. A developing learner can use two core lines while a secure learner adds context and a closing.
Homework
Record or rehearse a 20-second greeting dialogue and write where each phrase is appropriate.
Assessment
| Criterion | Emerging | Secure |
|---|---|---|
| Phrase choice | Chooses with a word bank. | Chooses a natural phrase for the situation. |
| Pronunciation | Understandable after teacher modeling. | Clear rhythm and polite ending without reading romanization. |
| Interaction | Completes one memorized line. | Responds to a partner and maintains the short exchange. |
Teacher Notes
Model natural Korean first, then slow it down only when learners need to notice a sound or pattern. Use the exit check to decide whether the next lesson should begin with review.
Extension Activity
Connect greetings to self-introductions and a short first-meeting conversation.
Digital Classroom Options
- Use breakout rooms for rotating role plays.
- Post situation images and collect audio responses.
- Use a shared slide with movable phrase cards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should beginners learn 안녕 first?
Polite 안녕하세요 is safer for broad beginner situations. Casual 안녕 needs a close or younger relationship.
How do I assess role play fairly?
Score phrase choice, intelligibility, and interaction separately rather than rewarding memorization alone.
