In this 30-minute class, students will learn to read the first few ひらがな(hiragana) with the use of alphabet and basic self-introduction phrases. This will give you a sense of my how my semester long lessons are conducted.

Beginner Level
What will be taught? As there are 46 hiragana in this phonetic writing system, students will be supplied with a chart which will be accessible upon enrollment. The class will not go over all of them, as the chart has alphabet for the beginner learners to follow, but I will be providing the students with learning tools which they will be able to access during the class and after using Quizlet. The class will provide students with language learning tricks and recommend trusted online resources for their future learning. What topics will you cover? Japanese writing systems, hiragana reading, how to read hiragana with the help of alphabet. How is your class structured? The class will be on zoom. I may use Gimkit at the end of the class for students to go over hiragana. How will you teach? I will teach the class through Zoom, sharing power point slides on shared screen. What's your teaching style? I believe students, especially younger ones, learn better and retain more information when they are having fun. I like to teach students while making the learning process fun for them, as well as for myself. How much will learners get to interact with you and each other (mention specifics like: lecture, games, slides, video clips, discussion)? Students will get to share their motivation for learning Japanese with the class and myself in the beginning in either speaking to the class, or in the discussion. Students will get to play a Gimkit game based on what they learned in class toward the end. Any required experience or knowledge learners need? Use of Zoom platform and Gimkit will be helpful.
Learning Goals

Other Details
Supply List
A computer or a laptop, or a tablet for the main part of the class. A second device would be nice to have for playing a Quizlet Live game, but if you set the screen up so that one window is dedicated for zoom, and the other window for Quizlet, it would be fine.
