Oakleigh South Primary School uses a team teaching approach to facilitate the teaching of Japanese across the school. Two Languages teachers work with two classes of students at a time to provide all children from F-6 in this large school with 50-minute lessons in Japanese based on the 'literacy rotation' model. In years 2 and 5 students have 100 minutes of Japanese each week with classroom teachers involved in supporting the learning centres. ICT, including regular Skype sessions with the sister school, and a school trip to Japan are other elements, which contribute to strengthening students' Japanese language learning opportunities.
