Questions for You

Q: What level of Japanese proficiency do you teach, and do you specialize in any particular aspect of the language (e.g., speaking, writing, listening, reading)?

I specialize in teaching for beginner Japanese exams such as IGCSE Jpaanese or N5/N4 Level JLPT Exams

Q: What resources do you use to teach Japanese, and how do you integrate technology into your instruction?

I use a variety of resources including recognised textbooks for a specified curriculum as well as my own notes.

Q: What kind of homework or practice assignments do you assign, and how do you ensure that students understand the material?

I assign textbook as well as outside materials for students homework. Ensuring that upon completion their understadning of the topic learned will have improved, and when faced with difficulties towards the homework, I will break it down and explain how to answer similar type questions.

Q: How do you help students overcome language barriers or communication difficulties?

I speak in both English as well as Japanese to help students associate words quicker and have a smoother transition into Japanese as a secondary language.

Q: How do you teach the nuances of Japanese culture and customs, and how important is this aspect of language learning?

I teach the nuances of Japanese culture within my lessons improvising so that it fits the specific curriculum. Highlighting to my students the importance of the Japanese cultures and customs that can be found within the language

Q: What is your approach to teaching grammar, and how do you make it engaging for students?

Learning grammar especially in Japanese can be annoyingly tricky, however there are ways which I improvise into my teaching to help ease the difficulties in learning Japanese grammar

Q: How do you incorporate speaking and listening practice into lessons?

Speaking and listening is an important thing within any language, as such I also focus on getting my students to read texts as well as ask them to translate said text to me.

Q: How do you help students build vocabulary, and what strategies do you use?

Building vocabulary can be particularly difficult when learning a new language especially when it comes to Japanese having 3 systems of writing. As such, I provide students with a collated list of specific vocabulary and their forms at the end of every lesson and will conduct a test at the beginning of every lesson on said list.

Q: How do you help students improve their pronunciation and intonation?

Many students often face challenges when ti comes to their pronunciation or intonation of certain words. To counter this, I will often break down those words into manageable syllables and work our way up from there. Through repetition and more speaking practice, my students will improve their pronunciation skills.
