Language study allows students to develop communication skills, learn about languages as systems and explore the relationship between language and culture. Students engage with the linguistic and cultural diversity of societies and reflect on their understanding of social interactions.
The study of Japanese provides access to the language and culture of one of the global community's most technologically advanced societies and economies. We are teaching students to engage with elements of modern Japan. Through this learning we hope to spark their curiosity for other cultures and open their minds and in turn to develop their respect to the different ways of living within our community and beyond.
Through the learning of Japanese at Cooma North Public School we are assisting our students who transition to Monaro High School where they currently have an opportunity to learn Japanese in years 7 and 8. They will also be able to continue to study Japanese as an elective in later years.
