Japan

A professional development program has been developed to support the uptake of the Hanabi - Sources from Japan for the Secondary English Classroom text in secondary schools. The program aims to:

• Demonstrate that it is possible and desirable to incorporate the material in Hanabi - Sources from Japan for the Secondary English Classroom in Australian schools.
• Demonstrate that Asian literature in translation can be included in the English curriculum.
• Provide teachers with background information about contemporary Japanese culture, particularly in relation to contemporary and popular literature.

Learning Area: English

The Program can be downloaded (PDF file).
