Welcome to year 12 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 20 credits at NCEA L2. The course will have a ‘youth matters’ focus, where we develop our ability to communicate in depth. You will learn to express and justify ideas and opinions through giving detail and connecting your points. We will cover topics such as:
