March, 2001
Since 1994 the Japan Foundation Sydney Language Centre has been producing activity resources which contain activities, exercises and stimulus materials for primary and secondary Japanese language learners. These sets of activity resources are available on application under the Centre's donation program.

This resource is designed to help teachers with multi-level classes, but the activities and tasks can be used in all classrooms. The methodology and strategies, and the example tasks and activities introduced in this resource target upper primary and secondary students. It is hoped that teachers will not only use the tasks and activities as they are, but will change and reapply them to suit the needs of their students.

The Japan Foundation Sydney Language Centre hopes that regular issues of these resources will give teachers a greater range of activities to choose from and thereby enhance their teaching programs.

The Activity Resources are copyright. However, The Japan Foundation Sydney Language Centre gives permission for copies to be made by teachers without commercial gain in quantities sufficient for use by bona-fide students.

This issue was produced by the advisory lecturers Himiko Negishi-Wood and Cathy Jonak. The activities introduced here include ideas which have been collected from various teachers over the years. We would like to thank the lecturers at the Nihongo Tanken Centre for the role play activity on page 18. We gratefully acknowledge those ideas whose origin is unknown to us, and we welcome any comments and feedback on this resource.
