Green Bay High School
Year 9 Japanese
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Beate Starke.
Japanese 日本語
Are you a serious gamer whose interest in Japan and its language has grown through playing Japanese games? Or are you interested in Anime, Manga, Sushi, the Kanji script? There are lots of reasons why so many students are interested in learning Japanese.
Be able to watch Anime ‘subbed, not dubbed’, improve your memory, expand your creativity, help your listening skills and increase your career options through learning Japanese.
Learning Japanese also enables you to travel to or even study in Japan. It’s not unusual for someone to first learn Japanese and then move on to other East Asian Languages.
It is great to know Japanese when thinking about a career in anything from a Psychologist, Librarian, Social Worker, Outdoor Recreation Instructor to Customs or Immigration officer,
Flight Attendant, Teacher etc.
No matter your background, you are likely to find peers in Japan who understand you. The course will meet the needs of both beginners and those with some prior Japanese language
experience. You will develop the core skills for learning languages: listening, reading, communicating through writing and speaking, and presenting. You will learn about Japanese culture
and gain skills in perception and awareness. By learning a new language, you will also gain a better understanding of your own language.
In Year 9 Japanese, as well as learning the Hiragana script and some Kanji, you will learn how to express yourself in Japanese.
COURSE LENGTH: Half Year (One Semester)
MAKING YOUR LANGUAGE CHOICES
- All Year 9 students are required to choose a language other than English as one of their FOUR half-year options.
- Year 9 students need to rank their language course choices in order of preference.
- Green Bay High School will try to accommodate first preferences where possible, but due to timetable, resourcing and staff constraints other preferences may be necessary.
