This course is part of the ANU Extension program for secondary students in years 11 and 12, and not available to students in ANU undergraduate, postgraduate or research programs.
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.
