上級日本語 Network Event

We are excited to welcome everyone to the first 上級日本語 Network Event following the launch of the website! Come along to hear more about the progress the network has made, the new website, and how to stay involved!

About the project:

The Japanese Studies Association of Australia (JSAA) has recently completed the 上級日本語Network Project funded by a Sakura Network Mini Grant from the Japan Foundation, working with Japanese Studies Aotearoa New Zealand (JSANZ) and the Japanese Language Teachers Association of Singapore (JALTAS ・シンガポール日本語教師の会).

The project had two goals: the first, to establish a community of teachers to share and collaborate, through the launch of Advanced Japanese Language Network; and the second, to collect data through both online surveys and interviews in order to better understand the current state of advanced Japanese language programs at university level in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. The aim of the data review was to investigate what teaching materials, learning activities and assessments were being used in advanced Japanese language classes at universities in the three countries, and to explore in impact of COVID-19 on the delivery of advanced Japanese language classes online in 2020.
