Japanese network

Welcome to the Japanese Network!



This site is for teachers of Japanese, their students, and anyone involved in promoting cultural activities linked to Japan and the Far East. It is a forum for all those involved in teaching and learning Japanese together to exchange ideas, information and good practice.

We hope it will keep you informed of events and activities, signpost you to a range of interesting websites and resources, and connect you with other schools.

This site also belongs to you. We look forward to receiving your contributions as it develops. This is a fledging page but hopefully it will soon grow! Katharine Lady Berkeley, a specialist language college in Gloucesterhsire, is helping us develop this page.

If you know of a good resource, or your institution is planning interesting activities, we would love to hear from you.
