The Japanese Youth Forum conducted on 8 February 2011 was truly an unforgettable event! Organised by the Japanese teaching team from the School of IS, it went a long way to help students reinforce their Japanese language proficiency.

About 92 Ngee Ann Polytechnic students from Intermediate Japanese 202 (IJ202) attended the Youth Forum. The theme of the forum was “Our country, Singapore”. Groups of 4 to 6 students gave presentations on various topics in Japanese.

About 90 students and 3 teachers from the Waseda Shibuya Japanese Senior High School were invited as guest judges, while Ngee Ann Poly EP Japanese students participated in the forum.

The forum's programme included  an interactive session and presentations. It provided many good opportunities for our EP Japanese students to speak to Japanese native speakers in Japanese.
