***Each section of the class will require at least 4 students to open. When there aren't enough students to start a class, the starting date will be postponed to the following week. Consider this class for the alternate option if the class length or the schedule works better. https://outschool.com/classes/9f8db22c-9c1e-4628-ae19-d06b2cb83967/schedule ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: What will be taught? ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Please see the syllabus. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: How is your class structured? ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: We will meet in zoom for 45 minutes once a week. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: How will you teach? ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: On zoom through Outschool platform. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: What's your teaching style? ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Easy-going, but perhaps because of the subject I teach, most students are really respectful, which I truly appreciate. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: How much will learners get to interact with you and each other (mention specifics like: lecture, games, slides, video clips, discussion)? ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Learning a foreign language is all about interaction!! There will be interactive class activities for informal assessments. Pair activities/assignments are designed to develop each student's 21st century skills such as collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. If you are a home school student who is looking for a formal assignment grades, I will be happy to work with you (but I need to know what is expected). ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Any required experience or knowledge learners need? ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: This is a beginner's class, but students will learn hiragana outside of class on their own with recommended materials.
Learning Goals

Parental Guidance
I have Quizlet and Gimkit vocabulary games students can use outside of class to study vocabulary from the class.
For Quizlet, students will need to have their own account to have access to my private folder of vocabulary.
We use Gimkit to play vocabulary games or help students with learning hiragana from time to time. Students will go to https://www.gimkit.com/join and type in a class code to join the game together with everyone in the class. No apps or anything else is required.
Supply List
If you use an iPad, please learn how to use split screen function, as students will work in writing or answering questions on interactive exercises while I hold the class with zoom. Notebook Pens or pencils Highlighters or color coding markers of choice Free Quizlet account

Certified teacher for Japanese (EC-12), Mandarin(EC-12) and Art(EC-12). I grew up speaking Japanese, Mandarin and Taiwanese, so I have no problem mixing them up to meet your need. Many years of freelance tutoring experience for Japanese and Mandarin have helped me teaching all levels of Japanese including Pre-AP and AP classes at my former employment at a public high school.
I am also experienced in curriculum building for 4 years of Japanese language education based on ACTFL proficiency standards as a former school teacher. As I teach more and more students from all over the world, I have become more familiar with CEFR rating as well as GCSE tiers.
I am an active board member of JTAT(Japanese Teacher's Association of Texas) and I host workshop webinars for JTAT members as well as give presentations at foreign language teachers' conferences to offer opportunities to learn new skills, new strategies, and best practices.Reviews
