Level 1 Japanese

Students at this level will express and respond to information, ideas and opinions and communicate more confidently about themselves, and past, present and future events. An emphasis is made on interacting and communicating for authentic purposes. Throughout the course students will record interactions and collect written work to be submitted in portfolio form towards the end of the year. Students are expected to have mastered the ‘hiragana’ and ‘katakana’ scripts and will begin to study ‘kanji’ in more depth.
