The new Japanese syllabus (released 2017) has now been integrated into NESA's Program Builder. The Program Builder is an online programming tool that allows teachers to select outcomes and content directly from the syllabus in order to create scope and sequences and units.

Teachers are able to sign in to Program Builder using their departmental or Scootle login details and the Program Builder is accessible from NESA's website using the following link:

A reminder that implementation of the new Japanese syllabus is in 2019 (for Years 7 and 9) and in 2020 (for Years 8 and 10).

The new course prescriptions 2019-2023 for the Stage 6 Japanese and Literature course are now available. 

Implementation of the new course prescriptions will commence from Term 1, 2018.

Schools are reminded that study of the texts prescribed for the Year 12 course may not begin before the completion of the Year 11 course. This also applies to the study of a prescribed text in another medium, such as the film of a novel.
