Consider integrating this annual essay contest into your school's teaching and learning programs. It is a great example of learning across the curriculum and could be an opportunity for cross-curricular involvement with English teaching colleagues. Some schools encourage all students to complete an essay and have a school competition to judge the entries to be submitted. This year the essay topics were: Junior Division (Years 7 and 8): Japan is becoming a popular tourist destination for more and more Australians. For example, many Australians enjoy visiting Japan during the winter months for skiing and snowboarding; “Kumano kodou” in Wakayama prefecture is a famous pilgrimage route; and “Edo Wonderland” in Tochigi prefecture is a popular venue for school trips. What advice can you give to enhance Japan to be a friendlier environment for tourists from Australia? Senior Division (Years 9-12): Japan is due to host the Rugby World Cup in 2019 and the Olympic Games in 2020. What are some of the lessons Japan can learn from Australia’s own hosting of these major sporting events, to lead to the success of the 2019 Rugby World Cup and the 2020 Olympic Games? Hiragana Times is a monthly magazine written especially for Japanese language learners. The articles focus on current affairs or trends in Japanese contemporary culture. Learners are supported with the inclusion of furigana text and an in-line English translation, both of which can be covered with a red acrylic sheet to show the article in its original format. As well as a source of cultural information, Hiragana Times can be used to improve reading skills through a range of articles. All subscriptions for 2018 need to be submitted by 10 December 2017. Details can be accessed from the subscription form. For further information, contact Jillian Symons by email customerservice@intextbook.com.au
