Why Teach Japanese in Secondary Schools?
Why teach Japanese in secondary schools? This booklet contains information about the practicalities and benefits of teaching Japanese at several of the UK’s top Japanese-teaching secondary schools. All information has been provided by the schools named below and compiled by the Japan Foundation London. You can also find further detailed case studies on the Japan Foundation website: www.jpf.org.uk/language/listofschools.php#case1 - Bexley Grammar school - Hendon School - Bury St Edmunds County Upper School - St Bernard’s Catholic Grammar - Dartford Grammar school School Learning Japanese at Bexley Grammar School Stephen Elphick - Headteacher Background: Bexley Grammar School was awarded Language College status in 2002. Despite taking on specialisms in Science and Maths and Leading Edge, our Language Specialism has always been at the heart of our school and has increasingly defined our ethos and culture. All students take two modern foreign languages to GCSE level, a very unusual requirement in a UK school and yet a highly successful one. Students can choose from French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and Russian. The introduction of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) was a natural next step which we have run alongside A levels for well over a decade, providing access to Japanese in both pathways. Four years ago the school committed to going fully IB in the Sixth Form which we will do from September 2017, securing all seven of these languages at Standard and/or Higher level. Rationale: Our school ethos is encapsulated in the three words: intellect, empathy and courage, taken from the IB profile of a successful learner. -
