日文 3：4-6 年級（10 週）

In this 10-week online course, students will progress to the level of Beginner-Intermediate in the Japanese language. This class practices reading and writing Hiragana and Katakana, and introduces new verbs and grammar patterns.

Class members will meet 1 time per week. Each weekly meeting will be held lecture-style, with plentiful interaction and prompts to practice speaking aloud. I will ask students to "repeat after me" when practicing speaking and listening skills. Students will be expected to have a notebook or whiteboard to use for practicing the written language. Between meetings, students are encouraged to practice their Japanese on their own to improve their skills. Students are assigned a short assignment to complete between classes. A handout will be provided after each meeting listing the new phrases that were covered. Throughout the class, students are encouraged ask questions about Japanese culture and lifestyle.

The curriculum for this course is as follows:
Week 1: Introductions, Verbs Review
Week 2: Verbs 1, Special Characters Review
Week 3: Verbs 2, New Grammar 1
Week 4: Verbs 3, New Grammar 2
Week 5: Verbs 4, New Grammar 3
Week 6: Verbs 6, New Grammar 4
Week 7: Verbs 7, New Grammar 5
Week 8: Verbs 8, New Grammar 6
Week 9: Verbs 9
Week 10: Comprehensive Review

This class is designed to follow "Japanese 2: Grades 4-6".

I am happy to answer any specific questions regarding class structure, teaching style, or curriculum coverage.
