Japanese NCEA Level 1 Appendix for external assessment

The appendix indicates language which students need to be able to recognise for Level 1 Japanese examinations: 1.1 Demonstrate understanding of a variety of spoken Japanese texts on areas of most immediate relevance 1.4 Demonstrate understanding of a variety of Japanese texts on areas of most immediate relevance The texts will reflect the communication achievement objectives levels 5 and 6 for learning languages: Communicate information, ideas, and opinions through different text types. Respond to personal ideas and opinions. Communicate appropriately in different situations.

Students are expected to understand more complex language which goes beyond the immediate context e.g. past and future events. Students are expected to understand a variety of text types. This will involve sentences and frequently used expressions related to basic personal information in areas of most immediate relevance. The texts will reflect the relationship between language and culture and be adapted as appropriate. Note for internal assessments This appendix applies only to language used for the two end of year reading and listening external assessments. The language which students will use to communicate in internal assessment activities and associated learning opportunities throughout the year will necessarily reflect the Japanese teaching and learning that takes place within the context of each particular classroom and cannot and should not therefore be restricted to solely the language and useful expressions contained in this appendix. NOTES TO TEACHER

Students are expected to be able to recognise: 1. Obvious loan words 2. Numbers, dates and months of the year 3. Particles These are some examples of expected language used in the texts, showing information, personal ideas and opinions.
