NCEA Level 3 Japanese

Course Description

Are you interested in exploring Japan’s geography, religions and history?

In this course, we will explore and discuss a variety of social topics, and we will learn about what it is like for young Japanese people coming on a working holiday to New Zealand.

At Level 3 Japanese you will engage in sustained interactions and produce extended text in Japanese. 

You will listen to, read and refer back to information, ideas, and opinions through increasingly complex and varied materials. 

Through exploring the views of others, and sharing personal perspectives you will develop greater cognitive flexibility, better problem solving and higher-order thinking skills.

Recommended Prior Learning

A minimum of 14 credits in Level 2 Japanese, or approval from the Head of Department.

Pathway

Be able to watch anime ‘subbed, not dubbed’, improve your memory, expand your creativity, help your listening skills and increase your career options through learning Japanese. Learning Japanese also enables you to travel to or even study in Japan. It’s not unusual for someone to first learn Japanese and then move on to other East Asian Languages. It is great to know Japanese when thinking about a career in anything from a Psychologist, Librarian, Social Worker, Outdoor Recreation Instructor to Customs or Immigration officer, Flight Attendant, Teacher etc
