Japan Today

EJCA Culture Program offers students an opportunity to understand various aspects of Japan: nature, history, language, society, custom, technology, and everyday life. The Japan Today program has been designed as a supplement to the Grade 8 Social Studies curriculum in “Japan” module. Depending on whether Japan Today is presented before or after the Japanese module in the curriculum at your school, it can be used either as an introduction or as an enhancement.
