The National Japanese Exam

About the exam: ​(from the aatj.org website)

"The National Japanese Exam (NJE) is an online, proficiency-oriented, standards-based and culture-related assessment tool for middle school (junior high), high school, and college students who are studying Japanese as a second language. It was developed by AATJ (American Association of Teachers of Japanese) as a way for such students to test their Japanese skills and participate in a nation-wide exam with awards for high achievement.
The NJE helps teachers see students’ strengths and weaknesses in various areas including reading, listening, grammar and kanji. Teachers can use the results to identify strong and weak areas in their teaching, give various school-level awards to students (Gold Level, Silver Level, Bronze Level, Honorable Mention, and Participation certificates), and highlight the success of their Japanese programs and celebrate their students' accomplishments.
The NJE is an entirely online test that teachers administer in their classrooms. It features Listening and Reading sections at three levels." 

​

 Purpose: (from the aatj.org website)

The purpose of the National Japanese Exam is to…
  • serve as a diagnostic assessment of Japanese language skills. By viewing the results, teachers can determine their students' strengths and weaknesses in reading, listening, grammar, vocabulary, and cultural knowledge. Teachers should combine the NJE with their own additional assessments to get a clear picture of student proficiency levels;
  • motivate students to further their study of Japanese language and their interest in Japanese culture;
  • advocate for the standards-based, proficiency-oriented, and content-based teaching and learning of Japanese language and culture.
