Japanese 1B (2025-2026)
Course Description:
This is the second course in a two-course sequence. While it continues focusing on practical everyday communication skills and contemporary Japanese culture, the course introduces the second widely used Japanese syllabic writing system, Katakana. Lessons are built upon familiar topics such as self, family, school, and friends to provide meaningful contexts to develop everyday conversation skills. Each lesson is designed to help students learn Katakana gradually as students work to master Katakana through decoding words and reading. With increased focus on the Hiragana and Katakana writing systems, this course eliminates reliance upon use of Romaji (English script) in course materials. The course includes audio and video learning objects to demonstrate native Japanese pronunciation, which supports students in building their interpersonal and interpretive fluency in Japanese. It is also designed for students to experience and appreciate the third writing system, kanji. Students will be asked to use various media tools, including online resources, a webcam, and the web-based Video Notes tool in Brightspace to record their performance in assignment submissions throughout the course. This course targets the Novice Level of the Michigan World Language Standards and Benchmarks.
