Japanese Second Language ATAR

What does the course entail?

The ATAR Year 11 Japanese Second Language course progresses from the Years 7–10 Japanese courses and focuses on further developing a student’s knowledge and understanding of the culture and the language of Japanese-speaking communities. Students gain a broader and deeper understanding of the Japanese language and extend and refine their communication skills. This course is designed to equip students with the skills needed to function in an increasingly globalised society, and a culturally and linguistically diverse local community and to provide the foundation for life-long language learning.
