Contents: (Session 2)

Students will use the Japanese for Young People (Student Book) and will cover chapters 4-6 over the 12 week session (approximately one chapter every 3-4 weeks).  Each week, students will have an opportunity to practice target language and vocabulary through conversation with the teacher and classmates.  The text provides a framework for verbal exercises as well as written exercises.  Content from the previous session will also be reinforced throughout the current session.

Students will have access to Quizlet.com Vocabulary Review for each lesson.
