INTRODUCTION Japanese Language is one of the international languages taught as an elective subject in Malaysian secondary schools. The Japanese Language curriculum is designed to provide learners with a basic foundation in the language. Learners will then be able to build upon this foundation to attain communicative competence and utilize the language for their personal development, enrichment and future needs. AIM The aim of the Japanese language curriculum in secondary school is to equip students with communicative competence in the language for their personal development, knowledge acquisition as well as developing social interaction. OBJECTIVES By the end of the secondary school education, students should in a range of contexts, be able to: 1. recognize, articulate and write the Japanese scripts of Hiragana and Katakana as well as a certain number of Kanji. 2. listen to and answer in simple spoken Japanese. 3. ask and answer questions, speak and express themselves clearly using simple appropriate Japanese. 4. read and comprehend a variety of simple texts in Japanese. 5. write and express ideas in simple Japanese. 6. identify certain nuances in both verbal and non-verbal communication in order to communicate effectively in Japanese;

and 7. exhibit awareness towards the intercultural similarities and differences between Malaysians and Japanese leading to a

better understanding and appreciation for their own culture and nation.


CURRICULUM SPECIFICATIONS The Japanese language specifications have been prepared as separate documents for each year of the secondary schools. The themes and topics are organized in such a way to make it possible for the language and subject matters to be taught and learned in an upwardly spiraling fashion. The Curriculum Specifications for Form 1 is divided into two sections. Section I outlines the learning outcomes and specifications. Section II outlines the language content. Section 1 : Learning Outcomes and Specifications Section I forms the main focus of the document because it elaborates the learning outcomes to be achieved by the end of Form 1.

• the first column refers to the learning outcomes to be achieved by the end of Form 5. • the second column spells out the language skills for Form 1. These skills are divided into three different levels. Level

1 outlines the basic skills to be achieved by all learners. After acquiring these basic skills, learners then progress to Level 2 and subsequently to Level 3. In cases whereby the levels are clustered together, teachers may use their discretion to determine the entry point of the particular skills.

• the third column enlists all the suggested examples/activities/notes for teachers’ reference. Section 2 : Language Content Grammar The grammar items to be taught within the context of the three areas of language use over the five years of the language learning are based on the list provided under Level 4 and part of Level 3 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). These grammar items are to be taught in context and in a meaningful way so that the learners can use them both in oral and written form. Sound System All the basic sounds in Japanese Language are introduced in Form 1. Learners are expected to be able to pronounce them


correctly. At this stage, teachers are not expected to introduce other aspects of Japanese sounds such as accent, rhythm and intonation. However learners should be made aware of the presence of these sound features. Word List The list of words selected is drawn from the word list of Level 4 and part of Level 3 (JLPT) which is to be covered over five years. Teachers should also feel free to select from/add on to this list any words that are considered relevant to the themes/topics suggested in the curriculum specifications. Writing System In Form 1, learners are expected to master Hiragana, Katakana and the suggested list of Kanji. It is also important that learners write with the correct stroke and stroke order. IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR TEACHING Integration It should be noted that all the four language skills are NOT to be taught in isolation but as a whole in order to achieve the three areas of language use which are interpersonal, informational and aesthetic. However, for efficient and effective use of the language, the importance of cultural knowledge of the target language should not be ignored. The cultural experiences will enable learners to gain a good understanding of the Japanese customs and social etiquette so

as to facilitate better communication. Thus, learners should be given ample opportunities to be involved in the activities

related to the culture of the language.


The intercultural awareness will not only enable learners to identify and understand the similarities and differences between the two cultures but it will also assist learners to relate positively to richness of human diversity.


OBJECTIVES FOR FORM 1 By the end of Form 1, the learners should be able to:- 1. recognize, articulate and write the Japanese scripts of Hiragana & Katakana as well as a certain number of kanji. 2. make friends and talk about themselves, families and friends; and enquire about the person(s) they are talking to. 3. make plans and arrangements with friends to do something or go somewhere. 4. obtain information from various text types such as instructions, notices, schedules and present the information briefly to

others orally and in written form. 5. listen to, read, view and respond to literary works. 6. exhibit awareness towards the intercultural similarities and differences between Malaysians and Japanese leading to a

better understanding and appreciation for their own culture and nation.


THEMES AND TOPICS The themes stipulated for Form 1 are listed below. These are broad areas from which topics are to be drawn for activities and tasks so that learners can read, talk and write within these contexts. Learners are not expected to deal with the topics in depth. Rather, these topics serve as the subject matter through which the three areas of language use are developed using meaningful tasks and activities. Since values and culture aspect are embedded in these themes and topics, teachers should take every opportunity to discuss socio-cultural and moral values related to them as well as in the functions and activities that are set. Words related to these themes and topics are found in the accompanying word list. Where necessary, a limited number of words can be added in order to deal with a topic meaningfully.

Self : identity, likes and dislikes – personal details and interests. Family and Friends : hobbies, personal belongings School : locations, rules, school community - e.g teachers, students, school life, events Town and Community : states and capitals (domestic), outings Country : places, people, foods, festivals


SECTION 1: LEARNING OUTCOMES AND SPECIFICATIONS The learning outcomes in the first column have been extracted from the syllabus in its original form. They represent skills to be achieved by the end of Form 5. Teachers, however, should be guided by the second column when planning lessons. The second column spells out the specifications of the skills that are specific to the Form 1 programme.

b. SOUND SYSTEM The Japanese sound system comprises the items listed below which are to be introduced at the beginning stage of the learning programme. The listing below is meant as a guide for teachers to enable students to pronounce words correctly as well as to observe the word accent, rhythm and sentence intonation correctly. I. Vowels There are five vowels in Japanese, i.e. /a/, /i/, /u/, /e/ and /o/. However, there are phonetic changes in the cases below. a. Long vowels In Japanese, there are words with long vowels are pronounced twice longer than those with single vowels. The length of these words determines their meaning and thus they are entirely different. Some of these words, when pronounced incorrectly (i.e. without its long vowel) gives and an entirely different meaning. Some of these words, when pronounced with a single vowel gives and an entirely different meaning Example: obaasan (grandmother) - obasan (aunt) b. Semi-vowels There are two types of semi-vowels in Japanese, i.e. /y/ and /w/. The semi-vowel /y/ occurs either in the initial position or between a consonant and vowels in a syllable. The semi-vowel /y/ appears only before /a/, /u/ and /o/. The semi-vowel /w/ occurs only at the beginning of the syllable before /a/. Example: /y/: yuki (snow) okyaku (customer) /w/: watashi (I) denwa (telephone)


c. Voiceless Vowels Vowels /i/ or /u/ becomes voiceless when either is placed between two voiceless consonants /k/, /s/, /t/, /p/ or /h/. In some cases, voiceless vowels may occur when /i/ or /u/ is placed between a voiceless consonant and a period.

Example:

k(i)sha (journalist) shimas(u) (to do) II. Consonants In Japanese, a syllable with a consonant normally, comprises a consonant followed by a vowel. However, there are exceptions such as: a. Double consonants In certain situations, two same consonants appear together (/pp/ /tt/ /kk/ /ss/ /dd/ /gg/). These are considered as one beat and pronounced by tensing the throat in a momentary pause.

Example: kippu (ticket)

b. Consonant /n/ The consonant /n/ is treated like a full syllable, in terms of length. However, its pronunciation varies as /m/ /n/ /ng/, depending on the sound that follow it. Example: ko(m)ba(ng) (tonight)


III. Other issues a. Accent Japanese has a pitch accent. In Japanese, accent is not about loudness or length or clarity of enunciation but a change in voice pitch. Japanese words are pronounced basically on two levels or pitch, low and high. In certain situations, the pitch pattern determines the meaning of a word. b. Rhythm Rhythm is a significant issue in Japanese as Japanese is syllable-timed. The basic rule for speaking Japanese is to pronounce each and every syllable exactly the same length. c. Intonation In Japanese, like other languages sentence intonation operates naturally according to the intention of utterances. However, in certain situations, a similar sentence has different meaning when it is uttered in a different intonation.


c. WORD LIST This suggested word list comprises word list of Level 4 and part of Level 3 of Japanese Language Proficieny Test. Words given are in their base form and teachers are encouraged to use them when teaching the learning outcomes. However, teachers are expected to teach these words in the different tense forms if the context so requires.
