Japan Foundation Japanese Language & Culture Course A2 Elementary Stage (Pilot)

Please note – this event is now fully booked. Further applications will be placed on a waiting list.

An exclusive opportunity to take part in the launch of a new A2 Elementary-level Japanese language and culture course at a special discount course rate…

The Japan Foundation Japanese Language and Culture Course (A2 Elementary Level) is a new kind of course for post-beginners (JF Standard for Japanese Language Education A2) of Japanese. It is based on the JF Standard for Japanese Language Education, rather than traditional methods of language education that focus on grammar and sentence structure. The aim of the course will be to use Japanese language skills to get to know people, visit restaurants and take part in other Japan-related events. At the end of every lesson, participants will be able to perform specific, practical tasks in Japanese. The course will not focus on language alone; learning Japanese culture will also be an important element in the lessons. You will also have access to the supplementary MARUGOTO+ Japanese Learning website, www.MarugotoWeb.jp, as well as the chance to use your Japanese skills outside the classroom in the final lesson.

Fee: £50 for ten sessions, including course textbook and materials. This course is being held as part of a research programme for UK-based Japanese language teachers, which means that on certain sessions external teachers will be invited to observe and video the lesson. Because the course will not cover all content included in the textbook, the fee charged is intended only to cover expenses and materials.
