The Nihongo Tanken Centre offers a range of activities to visiting students, closely aligned with the outcomes of the NSW syllabuses.

Participation in a Nihongo Tanken Centre program offers students full immersion in a total Japanese experience. From the initial welcome to the last goodbye, all communication is in Japanese, with centre staff experienced in communicating effectively with both Japanese and non-Japanese speakers from Kindergarten to Year 12, including students with special learning needs.

A Nihongo Tanken Centre visit is a stimulating and motivating learning experience for both students and teachers. Programs developed by the Nihongo Tanken Centre offer a wide range of activities designed to suit every level of language proficiency, immersing students in the Japanese language and culture.

At the centre:

• students engage in a 4-hour program
• the program is customised to suit each school’s needs
• activities enable students to practise and extend their language skills, working in teams
• students may also engage in interactive tasks using an interactive whiteboard.
