일본어를 배우자 1.2: 자기소개

Over the course of 8 lessons, students will learn how to introduce themselves in Japanese using their names, ages, nationality, and other useful phrases. We will also discuss the cultural etiquette of giving introductions in Japan. The course will conclude with each student presenting their own introduction using only Japanese! 

This course will primarily be presented in PowerPoint format. The beginning of most classes are spent briefly reviewing worksheets and talking about Japanese culture that is relevant to what we are learning that day. Next, we learn new vocabulary words and sentence patterns. When necessary, time is also spent on grammar to help students understand the structure of new sentence patterns. Learning will be supplemented with activities such as flashcards, role-playing scenarios, listening exercises, and information-gap games.

Because this is a conversation-based language course, classes will be interactive by nature. Students will be expected to speak in class. This helps me properly assess what they have learned and give them tips for improvement. I try to vary speaking as a group, using the chatbox, and speaking one-on-one in my classes so that students do not feel like they are being put on the spot all the time. If your child feels uncomfortable unmuting themselves in class for short periods of time, this language series is probably not the right fit for them. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
