"The Noggins NetworkPresents : 

 

 

  Japanese Lessons Online

 

   

The owner and Staff of The Noggins Network are proud to have been asked to take part in this web site, as the first Japanese based group/ Educator operating within SL to be involved.

 

 

 

About the Organisation

 

The Noggins Network Co. is an organisation which provides opportunities for people in the Arts, Language, Music, or Literary world.

 

The language COURSES on offer within this page are designed for courses within the "Second Life" platform, with the prices reflecting this. For general ONE TO ONE tuition, the prices are the same for general online lessons, whether they be conducted within Second life or through any other online media.  For further information about the organisation, please see the website at :

About the School and your Japanese Lecturer :

 

Under the "Epithet and Synonym" Literary groups banner,   "The Japan Centre" concept  was founded in June 2007 by Karlingo Lorefield, a British RL Lecturer and Linguist with 19 years experience of teaching and researching Asian Languages.  The founder is also linked to the Institute of Teaching and the Institute of Leadership and Management in RL, as well as being involved with a number of prominent RL universities on socio-linguistic aspects of virtual anthropological learning.  So you are in very good hands.

 

Karlingo discovered the need for a web based interactive cultural experience in real time, whereby people can have direct cultural exposure, "face to face" tuition and autonomy of learning.   The Japan Centre is designed as a means to providing this exposure as they learn, both socially and culturally.

 


 

 

 

Japanese Lessons within Second Life online !

 

Thank you for finding our page. Learning Japanese with us is both fun and easy.  From beginner through to intermediate level,  private one to one or class lessons are made available for keen students.  The School has a number of Japanese mentors on hand to assist in conversational practice.

 

Lessons are performed on live voice, using powerpoint presentations and live text.  Read this website for information on what courses are available, the kind of tuition and classes available, the costs, and what you can expect to achieve.

 

 

 


Class Tuition

 

There are two kinds of Class to take part in, see which suits yourself.  Costings are at the end of this web page.

 

Bespoke Classes :   If you have 5 or more friends who wish to learn Japanese, then why not organise a bespoke class with us?  We will talk to you about your requirements, aims and objectives, timings and costs.  Your friends, family, or colleagues may wish to gain skills for their Holiday or Business, We will agree the course content and course title together.

 

 

Standard Courses run for 8-10 weeks, each course is designed as a stand alone unit of knowledge.  Students wishing to remain with the College may continue study onto further, higher level courses.  For these courses to run we need 5 or more students. 

  

See Below for course Outline : 

 

 

Course 1 :  "Japanese :  An Introduction.

 

This 10 week course consisting of 20 hours of tuition and is suitable for complete beginners with little or no knowledge of the language.   You shall be taught greetings and Introductions, basic grammar and pronunciation, and will be able to demonstrate basic all round ability in the listening and spoken Japanese by the end.

 

 

Course 2 :  "Hello Japan"

 

This is an 8 week course (10 hours) designed as a continuation of the first course , but is recommended for students whom have studied at least 30 or more hours of study and have started to gain knowledge of the Japanese writing systems.   People who have not completed the first course with us shall be given a short 10 minute interview prior to enrolling.

 

   

 

 

Private Tuition

 

This method of receiving learning is also very popular in SL.   Because the teaching is done on a "One to one" basis the lecturer will be able to focus on your learning needs very accurately.   Again, please let us know what your aims and objectives are prior to attending, so that we can design a course which fits your requirements.

What level can I reach ?

 

 

This depends entirely on yourself.  If you choose to take private tuition, this can continue for as long as you need, it depends on the bespoke class you need.  Some people simply want to be able to greet their Japanese friends, other students may wish to join a class with their family for some "Holiday Japanese", it is all your choice.

 

If you decide on the two set courses, then expect to be brought up to intermediate level.  In other words, able to converse readily in most situations!

 Waseda SIM (ChaChat! English School) (PG)

 

Waseda SIM is a virtual campus town set in the future.  The space is basically for Japanese people (students) who would like to socialize as well as study in the context of campus life.  ChaChat! English School is part of Waseda SIM that offers an opportunity to voice chat in order to practice their English speaking skill.  Here, a “real-life” situation would be provided so that students could experience the authentic use of English.

 

Obviously, this particular space in Waseda SIM can be used for Japanese students to learn English speaking skill, which is usually difficult for Japanese learners of English to acquire 

 

HOWEVER, advanced Japanese learners can explore this virtual campus in order to get certain information provided exclusively in Japanese (signs, flyers, etc.)  The instructor can assign a project where students are to find certain information provided in Waseda SIM (events, services, etc.) and present it to class in Japanese.
