How to use this bookYour iiTomo 3+4 Second Edition Activity Book is where you can practise and consolidate what you have learnt in the Student Book. The activities are designed to help you develop your language skills, including listening, reading, writing and speaking, as well as vocabulary and grammar. They also encourage you to further explore the Japanese culture so you can become a successful intercultural communicator.

You will find the following activities in each chapter.

The first activity asks you to fill in a KWL table about the topic you are going to cover. A KWL table asks you to answer questions about what you know, what you want to know and what you have learnt. Before you start work in each chapter, fill in the first two columns of the table. Once you have finished the chapter come back and fill in the third column and reflect on what and how much you have learnt.

The chapter opening page provides you with some additional cultural information about Japan and some learning strategies to reflect on and utilise as you continue through the content.

The What can I do now? activity at the end of each chapter gives you the opportunity to check and record your learning progress and identify what you may need to revisit.

Similarly to your student book, the Putting it all together section offers some cumulative activities to choose from. You will work independently or collaboratively to put into practice the language and skills you have learnt, using technology when needed.

Finally, the Quiz on the last page of each chapter is a fun way to check on your learning before you start the next chapter.

Beside each activity you will find icons that tell you which skills you will be practising.

Some activities present a combination of icons to show that you will be using more than one skill.

We hope you will find your iiTomo resources clear, supportive and that they will give you an enjoyable, relevant and rewarding learning experience.

There are various ceremonies that are considered very important for young people growing up in Japan.

にゅう学しき are ceremonies that welcome new students starting school. They take place at the beginning of the school year, in early April, in kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools – even at universities. As part of the ceremony, parents and students gather in the school hall, sing the school song and listen to speeches given by the principal and others. On this day new students are also shown around the school.

そつぎょうしき, or graduation ceremonies, are held in March to celebrate the end of the Japanese school year. Students and teachers once again gather in the school hall to listen to speeches and sing the school song. Students also receive their graduation certificates from the principal.

せい人しき are coming-of-age ceremonies, which are held every year in January. The ceremonies celebrate the transition to adulthood of young people who have turned 20 during the previous year.
