Japan Bowl

Last year Utah held the first Utah Japan Bowl. Schools all over Utah participated in this event and AF scored very high overall.

http://www.heraldextra.com/news/local/japan-bowl-tests-students-on-language-culture/article_f43d8513-4266-5c97-98f5-1742f179c4af.html

This year the National Japan Bowl invited Utah to come to the Nationals in April. The Nationals will pay for the best 2 groups to go to compete there. (air ticket, hotel and registration fees)

If you are interested, please start studying for the Japan Bowl.
That's the study guide.

National Japanese Exam

AFHS will held the National Japanese Exam in March of 2015. Registration starts in December.

http://www.aatj.org/nje

The purpose of the National Japanese Exam is to…

• serve as a diagnostic assessment of Japanese language skills. By viewing the results, teachers can determine their students' strengths and weaknesses in reading, listening, grammar, vocabulary, and cultural knowledge. Teachers should combine the NJE with their own additional assessments to get a clear picture of student proficiency levels;
• motivate students to further their study of and interest in Japanese language and culture;
• advocate for the standards-based, proficiency-oriented, and content-based teaching and learning of Japanese language and culture.
