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.
