11JAP - Japanese (MCert)
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs A. Anderson, Mrs F. Hoshino.
11JAP | Year 11 Japanese MCert |
Course Statement: | Japanese is a particularly significant language for New Zealand because of the important economic and cultural ties New Zealand is developing with Japan. As a Pacific country, New Zealand has increasing contact with this major trading partner. In addition, students find it interesting and enriching to study a language and writing system so different from English/Maori and to learn about a culture so different from New Zealand’s main cultures. In this course, students will learn to cope with a variety of routine situations when visiting Japan or when dealing with Japanese speakers in New Zealand. They will use familiar language with some flexibility and pick up some new language from its use in context. Students will read and write notes and short letters, and understand many Japanese customs and make use of them. |
Background: | Previous study of Year 10 Japanese is recommended. If you have not previously studied Japanese you must seek advice and guidance from the Head of Department: Languages. |
