NCEA Level 2 Japanese

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs K. Crosby.

Japanese students can use language variably and effectively to express and justify their ideas and opinions and support or challenge those of others. The students can use and identify the linguistic and cultural forms that guide interpretation and enable them to respond critically to texts.

Students have the opportunity to communicate information, ideas and opinions through different text types; communicate information, ideas and opinions through increasingly complex and varied texts; explore the views of others, developing and sharing personal perspectives; engage in sustained interaction and produce extended text; analyse ways in which Japanese is organised in different texts and for different purposes; explore how meanings are conveyed through the Japanese language; analyse ways in which Japanese culture is organised for different purposes and different audiences; analyse how the use of Japanese expresses cultural meanings.

Disclaimer

Rosmini College's timetable is student-driven and a new timetable is generated each year based on student subject selection. Unfortunately, while we do our best to avoid them, timetabling clashes may still occur and a few students may be required to choose an alternative subject option.

The 2025 timetable, including the number of classes in each subject and staffing allocations, is created based on student selections made in 2024. Because of this, changing subjects at the beginning of 2025 may not be possible. Please, make your subject choices carefully.
