This standard asks you to hold a real conversation in Japanese where you actively participate, share your own viewpoint, and respond to other people's ideas. You need to speak fluently and spontaneously (not reading from a script), exploring different perspectives and explaining why you think what you think — all while using language that fits the situation, whether it's casual chat or more formal discussion.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Take an active, genuine part in spoken Japanese discussions, not just listen or give one-off answers
- ·Speak with fluency and spontaneity — handle unexpected questions and keep the conversation going without rehearsal
- ·Share and defend your own ideas, and respond thoughtfully to other people's perspectives
- ·Use language (vocabulary, grammar, expressions) that fits the situation and audience — formal when needed, casual when appropriate
- ·Use interactive strategies like asking questions, agreeing/disagreeing politely, asking for clarification, and using natural pauses or filler words to keep the conversation flowing
You participate in discussion with reasonable fluency, explore and justify ideas clearly enough, and use language features that generally work for the purpose — though pronunciation, speed, or expression sometimes gets in the way.
