Teach Japanese in your school!

Introduction

• In March 2003 the New Zealand Government approved
  recommendations from the
• Curriculum Stocktake Report that progress the
  requirement for schools to provide
• instruction in an additional language for
  students in years 7-10.
• The Sasakawa Fellowship Fund for Japanese
  Language Education is dedicated to
• encouraging the study of Japanese in New Zealand,
  and has commissioned this
• resource, which outlines the benefits,
  opportunities and practicalities of teaching
• Japanese in New Zealand.
• This resource contains useful information to help
  principals to
• implement a successful Japanese language
  programme.

Why Learn a Language?

• Nearly two billion people worldwide are studying
  English as a foreign language. The career
  advantage of being a native English speaker is
  being eroded. Without additional language
  skills, young people entering the workforce over
  the next 25 years risk being at a competitive
  disadvantage if they lack ability in more than
  one language.
• Learning languages is key to students developing
  greater understanding of the cultures of
  others, and helps to foster bicultural and
  multicultural awareness. The teaching of
  languages supports literacy in English and forms
  part of a broad general education for all
  students
• Studying a language helps with the study of
  other academic subjects. In addition to what
  they learn of the language and culture, language
  students also acquire basic learning
  strategies, higher-level thinking skills and
  broader perspectives.
• Having staff who are skilled in business but
  who can also understand the nuances of a
  particular culture and can communicate
  effectively with state and corporate officials
  is a distinct advantagewe now see
  multilingualism as a requirement for our
  executives in those countries (Aaron Gilmore,
  Mergers and Acquisitions Manager for New
  Zealands General Cable)

7
Why Learn a Language?

• English as a first language is in decline, but
  the number of people doing business with
• other countries is rapidly increasing. To
  sustain a competitive advantage, NZ companies
  will need to employ staff who can communicate in
  other languages.Kiwis can be on the back foot
  going into meetings if theyre relying wholly on
  interpreters for information. Knowing some
  language keeps you in the loop (Pat English, New
  Zealand Trade and Enterprise China Market
  Manager).
• Fluency in a foreign language is important
  domestically as well. There is a move away
  from structured tour groups and translator guides
  to people travelling in a freer, more
  independent way. These tourists want to explore
  more, and therefore the tourism industry needs
  to offer a destination where people have the
  language capabilities and cultural
  understanding to connect in meaningful ways with
  tourists (Graeme Osborne, Tourism Auckland
  CEO).

8
Why Learn Japanese?

• Japanese is extremely well resourced and
  supported in New Zealand there are well
  funded organisations which exist solely to
  support Japanese language education in this
  country.
• There is now a strong pool of well resourced and
  highly trained Japanese teachers in New
  Zealand
• With Japans exceptionally strong drive towards
  internationalisation, there are many
  opportunities for cross-cultural contact with
  Japanese, for example through sister city and
  sister-school links.
• Japanese and Maori pronunciation are very
  similar some Maori students find more of an
  affinity with Japanese than with other foreign
  languages.
• Statistically Japanese appeals more as a
  language to boys. Though more girls than boys
  choose to study most languages, a higher
  percentage of boys choose Asian languages than
  choose European languages.

9
Why Learn Japanese?

• Japanese cultural exports are exploding, from
  martial arts to sushi, manga and anime. These
  can be readily used in the Japanese language
  classroom and may have particular appeal to
  boys
• By studying Japanese, students in various fields
  such as business, tourism, journalism,
• science, technology, humanities and social
  sciences will build strong foundations for their
  future career.
• Japan has the worlds second-largest economy
  (source World Bank, July 1 2007, Data for the
  year 2006). Japan is also NZs third-largest
  trading partner after Australia and the US, and
  our fourth largest source of tourists, after
  Australia, UK and US (Source Statistics New
  Zealand NZ Official Yearbook 2006)
• With New Zealand located on the ASIA/Pacific
  rim, there is a definite need for an
• increase in people with languages in this area
  (Dr Shanjang Yu, AUT).

Find a TeacherThis may be your biggest concern.
Here are some suggestions on how to go about
finding, then resourcing, a teacher

• Canvas own staffThere may be someone already on
  your staff who has some background or interest in
  Japan/Japanese or language teaching.
• Check with teacher trainee institutionsHere are
  contact details of staff at AUT, Auckland,
  Waikato, Massey, Victoria, Canterbury and Otago
  Universities whom you could contact to ask
  whether there are any teacher trainees graduating
  from their programmes already with Japanese
  skills.
• Check our database of teachersWe have a database
  of Japanese teachers who have indicated an
  interest in working with primary schools in their
  area. This list was current in March 2007. If you
  are unable to find a teacher in your area,
  contact your nearest Regional Facilitator.
• Resources for teachers without specific
  background in language teaching/Japanese
• The Hai! series is designed for just this
  purpose. Relief Kits can also be used by
• non specialists. Again contact Regional
  Facilitators for other suggestions.

Hai! kits

• The Hai! An introduction to Japanese course was
  compiled specifically for use by
• teachers with no prior knowledge of the language.
  It comprises an introductory unit and
• 20 units of work, each with a distinct theme and
  specific learning outcomes. Each unit
• of work includes three lessons.
• The course has been designed to run for 20 weeks
  with three half hour lessons per
• week. It may take longer to complete the course
  as timetabling of classes will vary for
• each school. It is suggested that 'a little,
  often' is the best way to learn another language,
• so regular timetabling of classes is recommended.

Hai! kits

• teachers with no prior knowledge of the language.
  It comprises an introductory unit and
• 20 units of work, each with a distinct theme and
  specific learning outcomes. Each unit
• of work includes three lessons.
• The course has been designed to run for 20 weeks
  with three half hour lessons per
• week. It may take longer to complete the course
  as timetabling of classes will vary for
• each school. It is suggested that 'a little,
  often' is the best way to learn another language,
• so regular timetabling of classes is recommended.
