YEAR 13 JAPANESE COURSE OUTLINE
Welcome to NCEA Level 3 Japanese.
The aim this year is to further extend your skills in the Japanese language in a wider range of social situations, against a backdrop of Japanese culture.
Course content
The language studied this year will be based on our 4 NCEA Level 3 Japanese Workbooks, which are aligned to Levels 7 and 8 of the New Zealand Japanese Curriculum.
Term 1 Geography / ちり
Term 2 Travel and Tourism / 旅行と観光
Term 3 Japan at Work / しごと
Term 4 Revision / 復習しましょう
Total credits = 24 (depending on choices)
Externals are assessed during the year and in the school exams. These are formative assessments because the final results come from the external NCEA exams in November.
Internals All work must be your own in order to achieve and you must sign an authenticity statement. You must be present on the day(s) of the assessment. You must inform your teacher of any complication e.g. curriculum, sport, cultural activities etc in advance so alternative arrangements can be made. In the case of absence due to a family emergency or you are ill or hurt in an accident, documentation e.g. medical certificate is required.
Resubmission
Resubmission is a way to improve your grade if the teacher judges that you have made a mistake or omission in a part of your assignment or test that you should be able to find yourself. You will be given a set amount of time to correct your work and resubmit it. Your teacher can only give you general guidance and cannot tell you exactly what the problem is. You can only have one resubmission opportunity. A resubmission can only be judged to Achieved level. Resubmission is different from Reassessment (properly known as a further assessment opportunity) when you have one chance to re-do the whole assignment – usually later in the year.
Assessment grades will be in the following format:
NA not achieved
A achieved
M merit
E excellence
Check your grades on your record of learning.
Portfolios
The purpose of continuing a portfolio this year is to monitor your progress. It could include
goal setting and action plan
self reflection and review
teacher feedback/feed forward
formative assessments
samples of writing for 3.5 (signed and dated)
Parents will be brought into the loop both informally (phone calls) and formally (reports and interviews)
Homework
A regular homework habit is essential to progress mastery of vocab, grammar and kanji. A little and often is most effective. I strongly recommend that you subscribe to the Language Perfect computer program to aid your acquisition of vocab. Homework will also include completing unfinished class work, preparation for assessments and extra reading and writing practice.
It is very important to develop good organisational and time management skills to ensure success. (Use your student planner)
Your study in Year 13 Japanese starts today.
Set goals for your achievement and make every effort to make the small steps towards success every day.
がんばってね！
