Since 2002 the Edmonton Japanese Community Association (EJCA) has offered a school program, Japan Today, at our centre or at the schools. We have designed it as a supplement to the Japan module of the Grade 8 Social Studies curriculum in Alberta. This year, we will offer in-person sessions at the EJCA Centre (or at the schools) and online sessions.

2. Online sessions
We offer two presentations of 30 minutes, Japanese Language and Social Studies. Our Japanese instructors will present each topic with a PowerPoint slideshow and video clips, including interactive activities for the students. The presentations invite the students on a short virtual trip to the Japanese culture: a unique, fun experience. We hope that this program will stimulate their interest in Japan and help them understand it better.
Japanese Language Students will be introduced to the Japanese language system. They will learn several simple greeting words, such as konnichiwa, answer quizzes, and how to write their names in katakana (Mary ⇒ メアリー). Students’ names in katakana will be emailed to the teacher beforehand. |
Social Studies The slideshow presents includes Japan's geography, history, advanced technology, contemporary life and students’ life. A Japanese presenter narrates. The short quiz will be a fun challenge. |
Date and Time 30 minutes per session Wednesday to Friday, from January 16 to June 16, 2023 9:00 am - 3:00 pm The start and end times can be flexible, so long as there is no conflict with other bookings already made. |
