To be successful in this course we recommend that students have completed Level 1 Japanese.
It is strongly recommended that students are able to read hiragana and katakana.
The purpose of this course is to build your communication skills in Japanese, both written and spoken. You will be able to expand on what you learned in Year 11 Japanese, and use Japanese to write and speak about familiar topics. You will deepen your understanding of Japanese culture, and how it compares with your own day to day life.
Topics will include food and lifestyle, travel, families, traditional versus popular culture.
Students will complete two internal assessments and one external assessment. The internals focus on:
writing in Japanese, presenting in spoken and/or written Japanese.
The external focuses on reading texts written in Japanese and answering questions in English.
