Goal: Create a basic 20-30 minute lesson plan for a class of absolute beginner, various-aged students learning basic Chinese, using the Audio-Lingual Method and Dynamic Dialogues.
**Lesson Theme:** Basic Greetings and Self-Introduction
Start with a brief explanation how Chinese works.
Hanzi, Pinyin, and tones.

Tone Exceptions (3-3 into 2-3)
**Vocabulary (Pinyin and Tones will be crucial):**
1. 你好 (nǐ hǎo) - Hello (Tone: Third Tone + Third Tone)
2. 吗 (ma) - Stuck at the end of a sentence to make it into a yes or no question.
3. 你好吗 (nǐ hǎo ma) - How are you? (Tone: Third Tone + Third Tone + Neutral Tone)
4. 我 (wǒ) - I (Tone: Third Tone - Pronounced like "war" without the r)
5. 是 (shì) - am/is/are (Tone: Four th Tone - Pronounced like "ah yea sure" like your talking fast)
6. 谢谢 (xiè xie) - Thank you (Tone: Fourth Tone + Neutral Tone)
7. 不客气 (bú kèqi) - You're welcome (Tone: Second Tone + Fourth Tone + Neutral Tone + Fourth Tone)
8. 再见 (zài jiàn) - Goodbye (Tone: Fourth Tone + Fourth Tone)
**Grammar Point (Implicit):** Basic sentence structure (Subject + Verb + Object/Complement) and the use of question particle "吗 (ma)."
# Lesson Plan
**(Part 1: Audio-Lingual Method - 10 minutes)**
1. **(Enthusiastic Introduction - 2 minutes):**
- Teacher enters with high energy and a welcoming smile.
- "大家好!(Dàjiā hǎo!)" - Hello everyone! (Use enthusiastic tone and gesture to the class).
- "今天我们学习一点点中文!(Jīntiān wǒmen xuéxí yī diǎndiǎn Zhōngwén!)" - Today we learn a little bit of Chinese! (Speak clearly and excitedly).

2. **(Vocabulary Introduction and Repetition - 6 minutes):**
- Introduce each word/phrase one at a time. 8 words to learn in total.
- **你好 (nǐ hǎo):** "跟我说,你好 (gēn wǒ shuō, nǐ hǎo)!" - Say it with me, nǐ hǎo! (Say it slowly, clearly, emphasizing the tones. Repeat 2-3 times). Encourage simultaneous repetition with energy. Correct pronunciation with positive reinforcement. Also note its two different characters, that mean "You good"
- **吗 (ma)** - Stuck at the end of a sentence to make it into a yes or no question.
- **你好吗 (nǐ hǎo ma):** "现在,你好吗 (xiànzài, nǐ hǎo ma)?" - Now, nǐ hǎo ma? (Explain it means "How are you?". Say it with clear tones, repeat 2-3 times with simultaneous student repetition).
- **我 (wǒ):** "这是我 (zhè shì wǒ)." - This is me. (Point to yourself. Say "wǒ" clearly, repeat, students repeat).

- **再见 (zài jiàn):** "学习完了,再见 (xuéxí wán le, zài jiàn)!" - Learning finished, goodbye! (Say it clearly, repeat, students repeat).
- **Keep it unpredictable:** Randomly point to different students and ask them to repeat a word or phrase individually after the initial simultaneous repetition. Offer immediate, positive feedback ("很好!- Hěn hǎo! - Very good!"). Maintain high energy throughout.
