This tertiary-level extension course for senior secondary students consolidates the foundation of the students’ Japanese language skills, and extends students’ study in existing Japanese Continuing language courses for year 11 and 12 Secondary students. This course will enhance students’ ability to interact and interpret meaning (spoken and written reception), interact and create meaning (spoken and written production) Japanese through content-based learning, enabling students to communicate in different contexts. Upon completion of the course students will be able to describe their thoughts, experience and feelings in Japanese relatively freely in both speaking and writing, and are expected to have a good understanding of Japanese culture, society and people, and to have developed good Japanese self-study skills.
