Culture is taught alongside the language to further understanding of other cultures and to become more culturally aware and open to new ideas and opinions to be global citizens in this diverse community.
L3 Japanese Community Page
Our Japanese class is establishing a L3 Japanese community page on the google+ page. Students are asked to post two texts in Japanese and contribute to this community page.
We will look at Japan as a country to explore, to live in and to seek opportunities available to us.
Write in a format and style that is linguistically and culturally appropriate. Ensure that the content is clear, informed, well organised, and fit for the purpose and audience.
In this module, students will learn to create different types of writings
In their writing, they should;
-express, explore, and justify (with explanations or evidence) your own ideas and perspectives
-explore and support/challenge (with explanations or evidence) the ideas and perspectives of others
-use language and language features that are fit for purpose and audience
-include some ideas and information from sources other than your own direct experience (for example, articles, films, or discussions with native speakers)
