IB Japanese B is designed for students with previous experience learning Japanese who wish to further develop their communication skills in real-world contexts. Through engaging themes such as identity, human ingenuity, social organisation, and sharing the planet, students strengthen their listening, speaking, reading, and writing while gaining a deeper understanding of Japanese language and culture. The course equips students to communicate confidently in academic, professional, and everyday situations.

Japanese B complements degrees where multilingual communication and cross-cultural competence are valuable. It can also support students pursuing study or employment in Japan.
