What's included
1 live meeting
45 mins in-class hours per weekHomework
2-4 hours per week. Before each meetings, students are expected to study vocabulary and/or grammar/expression we learned previously. This way we use the class time efficiently for activities such as interpersonal speaking and collaborative writing.Class Experience
***Each section of the class will require at least 3 students to open. When there aren't enough students to start a class, the starting date will be extended to the following week. ***Please check with your homeschooling requirement to see if this course meets your need. *****There is no make-up to lessons you miss. You will be able to request for the recorded material for viewing within the same week you missed your class. Recorded material will only be available when you miss a lesson. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: What will be taught? ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Wk1 Aug. 12th-16th // Overall Review of the Level 1 book Wk2 Aug. 19th-23rd //Overall Review of the Lvel 1 book and starting on Ch. 7 Wk3 Aug. 26th-30th// Ch. 7 家族の写真 Family Picture Wk4 Sep. 2nd-6th // Ch. 7 家族の写真 Family Picture Wk5 Sep. 9th-13th // Ch. 7 家族の写真 Family Picture Wk6 Sep. 16th-20th // Ch. 7 家族の写真 Family Picture >>Labor day is off if your class happens to fall on Monday. ---------------------- Wk7 Sep. 23rd-27th // Ch. 8 バーベキュー Barbecue Wk8 Sep. 30th-Oct. 4th // Ch. 8 バーベキュー Barbecue Wk9 Oct. 7th-11th // Ch. 8 バーベキュー Barbecue Wk10 Oct. 14th-18th // Ch. 8 バーベキュー Barbecue Wk11 Oct. 21st-25th // Ch. 8 バーベキュー Barbecue Wk12 Oct. 28th-Nov. 1st // Ch. 8 バーベキュー Barbecue ---------------------- Wk13 Nov. 4th-Nov. 8th // Ch. 9 かぶき Kabuki Wk14 Nov. 11th-15th // Ch. 9 かぶき Kabuki Wk15 Nov. 18th-22nd // Ch. 9 かぶき Kabuki >>>>Nov. 25th-29th // THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY//NO CLASS Wk16 Dec. 2nd-6th // Ch. 9 かぶき Kabuki Wk17 Dec. 9th-13th // Ch. 9 かぶき Kabuki Wk18 Dec. 16th-20th // Make-up day for Labor day/catch-up/review ---------------------- Winter Holidays Dec. 22nd, 2023- Jan. 3rd, 2024 ---------------------- Wk1 Jan. 6th-10th // Ch.10 冬休みの予定 Winter Vacation Plans Wk2 Jan. 13th-17th // Ch.10 冬休みの予定 Winter Vacation Plans Wk3 Jan. 20th-24th// Ch.10 冬休みの予定 Winter Vacation Plans Wk4 Jan. 27th-31st// Ch.10 冬休みの予定 Winter Vacation Plans Wk5 Feb. 3th-7th // Ch.10 冬休みの予定 Winter Vacation Plans Wk6 Feb. 10th-14th // Ch.10 冬休みの予定 Winter Vacation Plans ---------------------- Wk7 Feb. 17th-21st // Ch. 11 休みの後 After the Vacation Wk8 Feb. 24th-28th // Ch. 11 休みの後 After the Vacation Wk9 Mar. 3rd-7th // Ch. 11 休みの後 After the Vacation Wk10 Mar. 10th-14th // Spring Break Wk11 Mar. 17th-21st // Ch. 11 休みの後 After the Vacation Wk12 Mar. 24th-28th // Ch. 11 休みの後 After the Vacation ---------------------- Wk13 Mar. 31st-4th // Ch. 12 病気 Feeling Ill Wk14 Apr. 7th-11th // Ch. 12 病気 Feeling Ill Wk15 Apr. 14th-18th // Ch. 12 病気 Feeling Ill Wk16 Apr. 21st-25th// Ch. 12 病気 Feeling Ill Wk17 Apr. 28th-May 2nd //Ch. 12 病気 Feeling Ill Wk18 May 5th -9th // Make-up day for Spring Break week/catch-up/review ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: How is your class structured? ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: We will meet in zoom for 45 minutes, once a week. The class will use the newest edition of a textbook and a workbook. Students will not be able to participate in class without the purchase of a textbook and a workbook. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 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 class taught with textbook and workbooks that are used in high schools in the U.S., as well as in universities. Students will spend time learning vocabulary as well as working on home works from the workbook, and recommended materials created by the teacher. Please note that since this is a class taught with a textbook that is used for both high schools and universities, younger students may find it challenging. This is a class for dedicated learners which require work and dedication :) If the student has learned Japanese for a year with a college level 1 textbook, this should be a good class.
