The JFT A1 course refers to a Japanese language course at the beginner level, specifically the A1 level of the Japan Foundation Test for Basic Japanese (JFT-Basic). This course is designed for individuals who are starting their Japanese language learning journey and focuses on foundational elements like basic vocabulary, grammar, and kanji.
Key aspects of the JFT A1 course:
Beginner Level: The A1 level is the first step for those new to learning Japanese.
Basic Japanese: The course covers essential vocabulary, everyday expressions (greetings, numbers, etc.), simple grammar, and sentence structure.
Hiragana, Katakana, and Basic Kanji: Introduces the Japanese writing systems (Hiragana and Katakana) and basic kanji characters, typically around 50 characters.
Listening Practice: Includes listening exercises with simple dialogues and instructions.
Practical Communication: The course aims to equip learners with the basic communication skills needed for daily life in Japan.
Can-do Goals: Learning is structured around specific "Can-do" goals, allowing learners to track their progress in practical communication skills.
VR Immersion: Some courses, like the IRODORI Starter (A1) course from www.jpf.go.jp, incorporate virtual reality experiences to enhance cultural understanding and provide context for learning.
Self-Study Options: Many courses offer self-study materials and online platforms like JF Japanese e-Learning Minato to supplement classroom learning.
Example Content: The MARUGOTO series (Starter A1) includes two segments: Katsudoo (activity) for communicative practice and Rikai for systematic language study.
In the context of the JFT-Basic exam:
The JFT-Basic assesses Japanese language proficiency needed for everyday life situations.
The exam focuses on practical communication skills rather than academic knowledge.
A1 level learners would be expected to understand basic information and engage in simple conversations.
The JFT-Basic test results do not expire and are stored for five years, according to www.jpf.go.jp.
