What's included
Group experience
This is a social space where members are encouraged to share their experiences learning Japanese, pick up a new habit or two to hone their language skills. It is also a space where the members boosts their confidence in speaking and writing Japanese through making mistakes and learning how to avoid repeating the same mistakes. As the moderator for this Japanese language learning group for novice level, I will be posting weekly topics, expressions and related vocabulary for the learners to participate in challenges and discussion. Each topic posting will include new expression and/or vocabulary as a challenge for the students to respond using those new expressions and vocabulary. Example topics could be about breakfast, and I would provide phrases and vocabulary to ask questions and respond to those questions. My random phrase posting could be as random as 「最後に食べたものは何?(What was the last thing you ate?)」 I will also be sharing study materials, news articles and totally random phrases to keep learners interested in learning Japanese, as well as motivate learners to respond in Japanese. I would love to see this group as a cloud space where the learners post their newly learned Japanese skills (in Japanese, of course) into action.
Learning Goals
Students will learn novice level Japanese phrases and expressions from my weekly posting as well as from the fellow learners. Sharing what we've learned is part of the learning process.
