QCAA Japanese case studies

QCAA Japanese is a senior secondary subject in the Queensland Certificate of Education system, administered by the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority. It suits Year 11 and 12 students who want to extend their Japanese beyond junior secondary study and have their achievement recognised within the QCE, with results contributing to senior schooling outcomes and tertiary entrance pathways. The subject develops four overlapping skill areas: interpersonal communication, interpretive communication, presentational communication, and knowledge and understanding of Japanese language and culture. Students learn to hold conversations, understand spoken and written Japanese texts, produce their own spoken and written Japanese, and engage critically with cultural practices and perspectives. The QCAA Japanese case studies are 5 cases and about 1,126 words.
