Japanese

At Fig Tree Pocket State School, Japanese is studied from year four through to year seven. These years provide a foundation which will enable learners to progress far more rapidly in later years of study. A functional and integrative approach with other core subject areas underpins current Lote teaching methodology. While studying a range of task based topics and themes, students explore different ways of thinking, learning and communicating using a variety of resources.
