Japanese Programme Outline
The Kumon Japanese Language Programme aims for mastery of advanced reading comprehension skills that enable students to fluently read authentic Japanese texts, such as books, newspapers and magazines.
The Kumon Japanese Programme has links to the Japanese Language Proficiency Tests conducted each year throughout the world by the Japanese Ministry of Education. Kumon Japanese students are thereby able to acquire qualifications that are internationally recognised.
The Kumon Japanese Programme is comprised of fifteen well-sequenced levels that make learning the Japanese language a breeze. CDs recorded by native Japanese speakers ensure that students hear the correct pronunciation. After mastering hiragana and katakana (phonetic alphabets), students progress to the study of kanji (Chinese characters) and more complex sentence structures.
The Kokugo Programme
The Kumon Kokugo Programme is a language programme designed for children whose first language is Japanese. The programme assumes native Japanese fluency. Japanese students can also study the Kumon Kokugo Programme after they have completed the entire Kumon Japanese Language Programme. The Kokugo Programme enhances vocabulary acquisition through the development of advanced reading and writing skills.
