Teacher and student registrations NOW OPEN!
JTAN is organising an online version of their speaking days in 2022. 
All students attending this event should register directly with JTAN or be registered by you as the teacher.

All registrations can be found on the JTAN website:

• 2022 Japanese Continuers Online Speaking Day (Teacher Registration)
• 2022 Japanese Beginners Online Speaking Day (Teacher Registration)
• 2022 Student Registration ONLY – Japanese Beginners Speaking Day
• 2022 Student Registration ONLY – Japanese Continuers Speaking Day

Teachers must register as an examiner in order for students to access this event.
Examining teachers will need to join an online training session approximately one week prior to the event. In this training session, teachers will be shown how Zoom will be used to organise and run the event, how to use Zoom for their examining role, how to provide feedback to students, and to answer any questions they may have about the event.
This event has a limited number of tickets available and JTAN can not guarantee that a second speaking day will be held. 
Please email any questions or enquires to JTAN with subject line ‘Online speaking day’. 
Registration closes on 8 June (Beginners) and 25 May (Continuers).
​

In response to teacher feedback, we have updated our sample speaking questions for Japanese Continuers. The questions we originally published were adapted from the old HSC Online site, and feedback indicated that the types of questions asked during the oral examination have changed since HSC Online was first published.

​You can access the updated questions from our Stage 6 Japanese Continuers page.

Mieko and Taka from the Tanken Centre have created videos of HSC speaking sample questions for Year 12 Japanese Beginners and Continuers courses. They have also created lists of sample questions. Please share these resources with your students to assist them with practising their speaking skills.

Continuers – personal world, education
Continuers – daily life, health
Continuers – leisure
Continuers – future plans, miscellaneous
Beginners – family, neighbourhood, education
Beginners – friends, holidays
