- information about your whānau and any experiences you had with them
- your favourite subject(s), and why
- activities you want to do or events you want to be part of, and why.
Opportunity 2: Guess who?

You could cover:
- background (for example, age, appearance, year level, role in the school, nationality, languages, family, pets)
- likes, dislikes, abilities, and hobbies
- daily routines (for example, where you normally find this person during lunchtime, one interesting thing that this person did during lunch time)
- any special experiences that you had with this person.
Opportunity 3: Welcome to my home

How to present your learning
You will communicate in both spoken and written Japanese to complete this Assessment Activity.
To provide sufficient evidence to achieve this Standard, your work will include a combination of spoken and written evidence. Examples include:
- 60 seconds of spoken evidence and 90-120 kana, or
- 45 seconds of spoken evidence and 150-200 kana, or
- 30 seconds of spoken evidence and 210-280 kana.
It is expected that hiragana, katakana and kanji will be used where appropriate.
The spoken and written language content must be complementary to each other, for example, a piece of work about a guided house tour could include a map with written descriptions for each room.
You can show your work in a wide range of possible spoken formats. Examples include:
- a vlog or video with complementary written information
- a slideshow with voiceover
- a digital or paper-based scrapbook or storyboard with complementary spoken information.
You will not be assessed on the format or technical quality of your piece of work. Only the quality of your language will be assessed.
The language you produce as evidence must be your own work. However, while creating your piece of work, you may draw on language resources such as:
- reference materials including class notes
- textbooks
- dictionaries.
You may:
- draft written scripts in characters, which will not be assessed, in preparation for the spoken section of your assessment
- edit your recording prior to submission.
You may not:
- copy whole sentences or passages from any source without significant modification
- use any digital language tools (for example, artificial intelligence (AI) or translators)
- have anyone else point out linguistic errors, or correct the content of your work, before editing and handing it in for assessment.
