Japanese Language in class XI (Code No 192) from the academic year 2011-12

The CBSE introduced Japanese language in class VI in the academic year 2006-07 and afterwards extended it in the next higher class in each subsequent year. The first batch of students will be passing out class X in the year 2011.Therefore in pursuance of policy of expanding the choice of subjects for students, particularly in nonconventional spheres of knowledge and skills that have bright employment prospects, the Board has decided to extend ‘Japanese Language’ as an optional elective under academic subjects at senior secondary level from April 2011. It can be offered by students as one of the four elective subjects and also as an additional elective subject at +2 stage in combination with any of the subjects that are already available in the Scheme of Studies of the Board.

The textbook has been prepared and are available. Teacher-training programme is also proposed to be held very shortly in collaboration with the Japan Foundation, New Delhi.
