Year 11 Japanese

Welcome to year 11 Japanese at EGGS!

Japan is known for its cultural influence on the world. From food, to anime and manga, to traditional clothing and decoration, Japan’s culture is unique and beautiful. Speaking Japanese opens the door to experiencing this new world of culture, history and tradition.

As NZ’s 4th largest trading partner, there are many opportunities for Kiwis to use Japanese both in Japan and at home.

In this course, you will study towards 5 credits at NCEA L1. The course will have a personal focus, where we develop skills to talk about ourselves. You will learn to communicate information, ideas, and opinions, covering topics such as:

  • Introducing and describing yourself
  • Travel
  • Food
  • Clothing
  • Daily life
  • Leisure time 

   You will be entered into 1 standard: 1.1 Interaction (internal)

Here is an example of what we will study in year 11:
