Part 1: Basic steps

• Tell trainees that they will be Arepelalese learners in a class for the next few minutes.
• Indicate that trainees (who are the "learners" for this session) should just listen. (You can put your index finger on your mouth to indicate " just listen.")
• Pick one of the objects, show the object (or the picture) and say the word in a sentence.

For example:

• Say, Jes et Nunuk.
• Repeat the phrase, Jes et Nunuk.
• Indicate that the trainees repeat the phrase. (Use the palm up, fingers waving towards yourself to indicate to repeat.)
• Say, Jes et Yepsha.
• Repeat the phrase, Jes et Yepsha.
• Indicate that the trainees repeat the phrase.
• Repeat the steps using the remaining words.
• Now, show the object or an enlarged picture of the object (handout 1A). Have trainees respond by saying the word in the sentence. (Jes et...)

Part 2: Response Drills

This time, you want to say the word and have the trainees repeat the word again. However, rather than just go on to a next word, you want the trainees to respond to the question, Qui et?

For example:

• Say, Jes et Nunuk.
• Indicate that the trainees repeat the phrase, Jes et Nunuk.
• Point at the object and say, "Qui et?"
• Wait for the trainees to respond with Jes et Nunuk.
• If there is an error, repeat the question.
• If the trainees need additional assistance, model the question (while keeping your hand close to yourself) and the answer (with your hand closer to the trainees.)
• Repeat using all the vocabulary words introduced in Part 1.
