Year 11 Japanese (JPN)

Year 11 Japanese (JPN)

WHAT WILL I LEARN? 

Level 1 Japanese is an extension and consolidation of the Year 9 and 10 syllabi. By engaging with this subject, students develop the ability to communicate in Japanese and connect meaningfully with people in different communities around the world. Languages and cultures play a key role in developing personal, community, national, and global identities. Through Japanese, students learn how to engage with the world around them in appropriate ways and become global citizens. As students acquire the skills of both communicative and intercultural competence, they reflect simultaneously on their own personal identities and explore their own culture(s) from a new perspective. There is a focus on both spoken and written communication of personal information, ideas and opinions in different situations. 

SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE GAINED IN JAPANESE INCLUDE:

• increased cultural competence and global awareness

• communicative capabilities and interactive strategies

• understanding structure in thinking and communication

• enhanced creativity and problem-solving skills

• increased understanding of successful learning methods

• an appreciation of diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives

• an additional context to embed and enhance literacy and numeracy competencies.
