Hai! 1 Workbook: Workbook

With six semester-length, topic-based stages, Hai! is geared to the crucial middle years where student motivation and experience of progress are so important.

The workbook contains a range of language and cultural activities that support the material in the Coursebook and allow students to work from the known to the unknown, including:

• listening comprehension activities that build students’ aural skills and confidence;
• puzzles where, through active discovery, vocabulary and script learning becomes more meaningful;
• written activities and exercises where new language points are practised and developed;
• hiragana recognition and writing practice where students apply and explore their growing familiarity with the script;
• learning outcomes checklists to assist students in charting their own progress.

Pearson takes great pride in our authors. We source authors and contributors that are industry leading experts, with extensive experience of teaching and learning in their fields, from every state of Australia. We commission only the best authors who offer valuable insights and something unique to bring to the project.

Upper Primary–Junior Secondary

Hai! is an easy-to-use course, tailored to the crucial middle years where student motivation, participation and experience of progress are so important. Each of the six topic-based stages builds on previously met vocabulary, grammatical structures and script to provide a smooth transition from one stage to the next. Script is introduced in topic-related contexts. On completion of Hai! 1–6, students will be able to read and write hiragana, katakana and 70 kanji.
