Osborn High School – IB Japanese V

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course, along with IB Language B the following year, prepares learners for the IB exam. Learners participate in short social interactions in everyday social and survival situations that may present complications. They are able to ask and answer a variety of questions and say what they want to express about themselves and their everyday life and personal interest or studies. They communicate consistently about present and future events, but inconsistently about past events. They are consistently understood by native speakers accustomed to interacting with language learners. They understand the main idea of texts related to everyday life and personal interests or studies. They write briefly on a wide variety of familiar topics using connected sentences and present information. They recognize and use some culturally appropriate vocabulary, expressions, and gestures when participating in everyday interactions and recognize that differences exist in cultural behaviors and perspectives and can conform in familiar situations.
