About this course

The course develops more natural, everyday Japanese through a varied set of classroom activities. Learners work on vocabulary, review grammar, complete listening tasks and practise speaking in pairs or groups, with opportunities for discussion and feedback. Lessons draw on authentic material including news reports, articles, television advertisements, YouTube videos and social media content rather than following a single textbook. The teacher and students decide some of the content together, allowing the programme to reflect the group’s learning goals and interests.
