Created Feb. 7, 2024 by Amber Hoye, Deana Nassans, Camille Daw, Mimi Fahnstrom

Please Note: Many of the activities on the Pathways Project OER Repository were created by upper-division students at Boise State University and serve as a foundation that our community of practice can build upon and refine. While they are polished, we welcome and encourage collaboration from language instructors to help modify grammar, syntax, and content where needed. Kindly contact pathwaysproject@boisestate.edu with any suggestions and we will update the content in a timely manner.  — The Pathways Project

About the Boise State World Languages Resource Center (WLRC) Language Activity Repository

The activities provided by the Boise State World Languages Resource Center (WLRC) serve as foundational activities which can be adapted by any language and scaled up or down on the proficiency scale. Many of these activities offer an English Version that is “language-agnostic” to provide language instructors from around the country a platform to remix these instructional materials, infusing them with their target language and culture! The activities within the Pathways Project OER Repository seek to help students solidify their interpersonal speaking and interpretive skills through task-based situations or communicative activities. These activities should be facilitated in the target language for approximately 90% (or more), per the recommendation of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.

How to use the WLRC Repository’s Activities:

Materials Needed:

Warm-up

1. Display the "Google Slides" and begin by introducing the Can-Dos for today’s activity.

"こんにちは。今日の Can-Do Statementsは..."

2.  Show the promotion video of Tokyo

“東京のプロモーションビデオを見ます。”

"Watch a promotional video of Tokyo." 

Main Activity

1. Have students partner up, with one acting as the travel agent and the other the vacationer. Give a set of the Destination Cards to each travel agent, and give each traveler one Travel Card. Travelers will discuss which activities they want to do, how much money they can spend on hotels, and how many nights they'll stay (one bed = one night), and how many people will go. Make sure to tell the students that in Japan, you have to pay per person to stay at hotels. The travel agent will have to choose the best destination that fits the traveler's needs. Once the travel agent offers a “plan” to the traveler, the traveler will become the travel agent, and they will “plan” another vacation with a different Travel Card. This cycle will continue until everyone has been a travel agent.  

“ペアになってください。一人は旅行代理店の人になってもう一人は客になってください。客は代理店の人にアクティビティ、ホテルにいくら使うか、何泊、何人か伝えてください。代理店の人はそれを聞いて旅行先を決めてください。日本ではホテル代は人数分払わないといけないので、気をつけてください。それが終わったら役を交代してください。”

“Make a pair, one is a travel agent and the other is a customer. The customer tells the agent how much they spend in the activity, the hotel, how many nights and how many. The agent will ask you to decide where you want to travel.Because you have to pay for the number of people in Japan, be careful." 

2. Use this model for an example:
        1. Traveler
            1. ハイキングをしたり写真を撮ったりしたいです。神社にも行きたいです。ホテル代は４０ドルあります。１泊したいです。１人で行きます。

I want to go hiking and take photos. I want to go to the shrine. Hotel fee is $ 40. I want to stay overnight. I'm going alone.
      

  2. Travel agent
            1. 京都はどうですか？

How about Kyoto?
