- using language more spontaneously to show interest in, praise, respect and concern for others, for example, using respectful language for agreeing or disagreeing with views, ほんとうに？、そうですか、わかります、 and すみません、もういちど おねがいします、ちょっと…、すごい、すばらしい、がんばって and ええと to indicate thought
- using a range of classroom-related language to participate in class activities (word, board, digital games, etc.) with phrases such as 私のばん、みぎ、ひだり、ざんねん、つぎは だれ？～さん、 enquiring about and describing the prepositions, for example, ワークシートはどこにありますか。テーブルのうえにあります。
- sustaining interactions through the spontaneous use of formulaic language and あいづち to express feelings and reactions, for example, あー、ほんとう？つかれた、えー、むずかしい、たのしかった、できた, using cohesive devices to sequence and elaborate on ideas, for example, 土よう日にかいものに行きます。だから、はやくおきます, using vocabulary associated with sequencing such as さいしょに、つぎに、それから、そして
- sharing and requesting personal information with others, and/or with real or imagined visiting students from Japan or a partner school, for example, スポーツ、好きなもの、友だち、べんきょう, using culturally appropriate gestures and a variety of sentence structures
- engaging in various modes of communication with local and global peers about shared interests and experiences, for example, sport, food, study, music からてをしますか。いいえ、でも、からてが好きです; sharing opinions and expressing preferences, for example, すうがくはむずかしいとおもいます／です; recounting experiences, for example, holidays/events だれとパーティーへ行きましたか、; sharing and comparing information about teenage life, for example, daily routines and responsibilities 私は友だちとバスでがっこうへ行きます。
