Our tutors will teach Year 9 students following the Australian curriculum, ensuring they achieve key outcomes in communication, understanding language systems, and cultural awareness. By the end of Year 9, students use Japanese to participate in discussions, share their views on various topics, and engage in more complex interactions. They interpret and create a range of texts, using appropriate structures and vocabulary to convey meaning. Students develop their skills in reading and writing with kanji, hiragana, and katakana, focusing on fluency and accuracy. They explore the cultural context behind language use, reflecting on how Japanese values influence communication.
Our tutors will ensure to cover all topics from the Year 9 Japanese curriculum:
Interacting in Japanese:
Students engage in conversations about school life, hobbies, and global topics, using both formal and informal language as appropriate. They practise adjusting their language to suit different situations through role-plays and collaborative activities.
Mediating meaning in and between languages:
Students interpret information from a range of texts, including articles, stories, and videos, summarising key ideas and exploring cultural meanings. They translate familiar expressions, discussing differences in cultural perspectives between Japanese and English.
Creating text in Japanese:
Students produce spoken and written texts, such as narratives, descriptions, and reflections, using a variety of vocabulary and grammatical structures. They focus on creating cohesive texts, applying their knowledge of kanji, hiragana, and katakana.
Understanding language and culture:
Students develop their pronunciation and intonation through practice with dialogues and presentations. They explore Japanese cultural practices, such as festivals, social norms, and traditions, discussing how these shape communication styles and expressions.
