Japanese Oral

    Hi everyone,

    I have my Japanese oral on Thursday and I'm pretty much set for everything except for the role-plays. My subject teacher and everyone else I spoke to that did Japanese for their LC told me that there are no role-plays for the Japanese oral. However, when I checked the curriculum a few days ago (late, I know) it said there are in fact role-plays (curriculumonline.ie/getmedia/6aaec8af-748f-4cdf-9e72-e0348297e42f/SCSEC23_Japanese_Syllabus_eng.pdf).

    The oral component of assessment will consist of
    (a) general conversation, based on the syllabus
    content
    (b) role-play
    (c) development of theme of role-play through
    discussion
    (d) description of a picture and discussion of related
    themes/topics

    I'm panicking now as I have no clue what role-plays are and how many of them I have to learn. I won't be meeting my subject teacher before my oral so I can't ask her.

    Does anyone know who I can contact for more information about the role-plays (what it's about, how many there are etc.).

    Thank you!

    Wait til the SEC site is back tomorrow.
    Any circulars regarding the Japanese orals will be there and it will give a list of role-plays if one exists.

    If you look at the cached version of the Oral Examinations page, there's no roleplays listed for Japanese so I think you're safe enough :)

    Thank you for your reply spurious!

    I will be sure to check the site tomorrow, I've been trying all day but to no avail. However, I have checked that site many times in the past for my Japanese and I have never seen a list of role-plays on there.

    Just seen your reply there. Thank you Magnate! I have visited that site many times and I've never seen role-plays listed on that page either. I have no idea why the curriculum would say there are role-plays when there aren't any. D:

    The oral definitely only consists of the general conversation, the picture description, and the topic you choose from the card. No roleplay.

    Thank you very much, emersyn! I'm so relieved now! I was freaking out so much earlier.
