Course Description
Please note: If choosing a language in yr 9 that was not studied in yr 8, students will be required to complete a bridging course in negotiation with the class teacher before beginning the course.
Enjoyment: Meeting and conversing with Japanese native speakers, playing language games, acting out role plays, undertaking cultural craft activities, participating in school trips abroad, cooking and visiting restaurants, hosting exchange students, writing to foreign pen pals
Challenge: Evidence shows that undertaking a long-term study of a Language has a very positive impact on learning in general, due to the need for hypothesising, problem solving and divergent thinking.
Achievement: The skills gained through the study of Languages are tangible and enhance the self-esteem of the learners. These skills are often pre-requisites for jobs in fields ranging from tourism to marketing, to the diplomatic corps. Traditionally, a knowledge of another language was regarded as one of the attributes of an "educated" person. Given the globalisation of Australia's economy, it is also an attribute of a successful one.
