This 8-week online course is for teachers with a basic level of Japanese who would like to build up their language skills. Through the course, you will develop a basic working knowledge of Japanese grammatical structures and build up your confidence and skills in using Japanese effectively in your classroom.

The course is provided by the Japan Foundation Sydney, and is now open to teachers in the UK for the first time, following a successful trial.

Feedback from trial participants:

“I have really enjoyed it, the course content is useful as covers all areas of the Japanese language i.e. speaking, listening, reading, writing – lots of writing practice which is a challenge but good practice!”

“I really really like the Production task, especially as you get some prompt feedback from the Language Advisor. Brilliant!”

The course will run from 18^th October to 12^th December 2010. Applications will open on 1st October. Please note there is a fee for this course (approx. £56 - £95 depending on the stage).
