Prerequisites Successful completion of Year 10 course or its equivalent. Periods per week Four. This is a year long course. Description Students are now working towards understanding and producing more complex language. They focus on communicating beyond their immediate context – for example, talking about the past or future, and they encounter a variety of text types. Students are encouraged to express personal ideas or opinions and to respond to those of others, as well as select appropriate language for specific purposes and audience. Japanese students develop their kanji. Equipment All languages will require a laptop and headphones. There will be some workbook and some booklet based work as well as digital folders. Assessment Assessment dates are approximate but will be published under due date on Schoolbox. A course outline with anticipated dates and topics will also be published on Schoolbox under each language in February, so students can plan well in advance. Protocols and policies with regard to the management, marking and moderation of internal assessments are in accordance with school policy. Students are encouraged to familiarise themselves with these processes. Note: In 2021 there are NO reassessment opportunities for internal achievement standards offered. The Interact and Writing portfolios are conducted over three terms and students are considered to have ample time to reformat the two samples required for each before the final submission. There will be a weekly vocabulary test of prescribed examination vocabulary. Students should prioritise this learning. The online learning is easily applied to iPads and smart phones. The following NCEA achievement standards will be offered in 2021. Students can obtain 19 credits. There will be three internal assessments to the value of 14 credits and one external assessment to the value of 5 credits.
