Kidz 日語 III - 第 1 節

In this 12-week Japanese course for enthusiastic lower intermediate learners, students will informally continue using the Japanese for Young People II and III series to cover important grammar structures and kanji study.  At this lower intermediate level, students will be introduced many different grammar structures, vocabulary, and Kanji.  They will learn to tackle unknown language with a sense of independence needed for long-term study of the Japanese language.    This method of learning is defined as comprehensible input.  

What is comprehensible input? Comprehensible input  refers to language that is slightly beyond a learner's current language level but still understandable, allowing them to acquire new language by being exposed to input that is mostly clear even if they don't understand every word or grammatical structure; essentially, it's the idea that language is best learned by being exposed to input that is just a bit more advanced than what you already know how to understand.  While systematically learning level based grammar skills, students will also use resources from the Comprehensible Japanese curriculum to further their blossoming skills.  (There is an $8 monthly subscription to Comprehensible Japanese that is highly recommended.)

**As always, our class will include games, videos, and opportunities to review vocabulary on the Quizlet and KAHOOT platforms. YouTube is used as a source in the classroom, but is always age appropriate and supports learning. There is no need to have an account to enjoy the videos in the classroom.  All videos can be viewed directly from the classroom without going to the YouTube website.**
