iiTomo 1-4 2nd Edition Student Book for Years 7-10 was revised based on user feedback and is aligned with the latest Australian Curriculum: Languages – Japanese (Year 7 entry), Victorian Curriculum for the AC, Western Australian Curriculum for the AC and the new NSW Syllabus for the AC. It is now even more relevant to students and offers additional support for personalised learning.
Students are motivated and learn to become independent learners. They now possess the tools to read and write hiragana, katakana and kanji quickly and confidently, and to converse in Japanese as early as their first few weeks of Japanese, whilst using intercultural, investigative and critical thinking skills.
