레슨 상세 내용
This course focuses only on the areas of usage that are relevant to students who simply want to explore the Japanese language and culture or are planning to visit or stay in Japan.
The lessons are organized as Module 1 - 10. Each Module is considered 1 lesson and can be taken independently. However, I recommend you start with Module 1 and prgress to 10 sequentially.
The modules cover various styles of greetings, self introduction, food and eating, getting around and major cultural activities. It is considered important that the students understand the logic behind how words are put together to form a sentence. They are not instructed to “parrot” words as this method typically discourages learners to continue learning a language.
Each module has a PDF document which is given to the student at the beginning of the lesson. It includes model sentence structure(s), a list of related vocabulary, in-lesson exercises and homework material for those who wish to do so. Some support materials may be used (e.g. color pictures, objects, music and/or websites, etc) to enhance your learning.
For students whose primary language is not English, please be reminded that instructions are given in English.
Course Outline
Module 1 – Basic Syllables
The basic syllables spelled with English alphabets (Roma-ji) is introduced using a syllable table for non-Japanese speaking beginners. The students will write words and sentences with these Roma-ji the rest of the course. Though it is not required to learn the Japanese writings (Hiragana, Katakana and Kanjji) in this course, students who wish to do so will receive resources that will help learn them outside the course hours.
Module 2 - Greetings
The course introduces various styles of greetings commonly spoken by native speakers in recent years. Along with the words and phrases, the cultural background behind these styles is explained to help students judge when and with whom they should use those expressions appropriately.
Module 3 – Self Introduction
Using a simple sentence structure, students learn how to say essentials such as “I am (name)...” and “I am Canadian”, etc. Abundant time is allocated to accommodate to individual needs such as teaching how to say “ I am a civil engineer”, “I am Chinese”, etc.). There is an emphasis in this module on how to address a Japanese person - by their first name or last name, with “san”, “chan” or without, or by the professional title.
Module 3 – Asking a question
More relevant vocabulary is introduced in the context of self introduction. Students also learn how to form a question simply by switching word positions in the sentence they have learned previously, translating to “Are you....?” in English.
Module 4 – Favorite things - Food
After learning a group of relevant vocabulary (e.g. food items), a new sentence structure is introduced to say, “I like …../I don't like....”. Students are able to form a question such as “Do you like...?” as they have learned how to form a question previously.
Module 5 – Ordering food in a restaurant
This is a very practical skill and can be practised locally when students go to a Japanese restaurant. Many expressions typically used in restaurants in Japan have complicated grammatical structures and therefore the 'parroting' method is used as an exception. Students practise expressions such as “May I have...?” “Is this meat/fish/vegetable?” and “This tastes great!”.
Module 6 – Favorite things expanded - Sports, Movies, Music, etc.
Students learn more vocabulary used in the same sentence structure from Module 4. A prescribed skit format is provided so that the students can practice saying “I like ice hockey. Do you like it?” , changing the vocabulary as they like.
Module 7 – Getting around: Basics
This module focuses on assisting travellers to Japan in a realistic way. A list of vocabulary including “train”, “subway”, “ticket”, “near/far”, etc. is introduced first, followed by a virtual tour of Tokyo's train systems, explanation of how and what kind of tickets can be bought, cultural etiquettes involved, and advices on various aspects of travelling.
Module 8 – Getting around and major attractions
With expanded vocabulary is taught along with the introduction of major attractions such as the Kabuki Theatre, Mt Fuji, the Golden Temple in Kyoto, etc, followed by new sentence structures. Students learn how to ask for directions and say that they are lost.
Module 9 – Cultural events
Students are taken through major cultural events such as New Year's Eve/Day, seasonal festivals, buddhist and shintoist events, etc., learning relevent vocabulary and expressions along the way.
Module 10 – Family
This module focuses on the vocabulary relating to family members and relatives. Sentence structures include "This is my mother (name)..", "She is a nice person", etc.
