Grammar points

New grammar points

The following grammar points were added to the 2021 Course of Study, and do not appear anywhere in the 2016 editions of New Horizon. Care must be taken that these grammar points get taught when teaching a grade higher than the one listed in the table below (i.e. grammar point 1 to 2nd and 3rd grade; grammar point 2 to 3rd grade).

Unlearned "learned expressions"

The following grammar points appear as learned expressions in the 2021 edition textbooks but, due to the transition between editions, the students won't actually have learned them by the time they appear.

• 2nd grade table
• 3rd grade table

Tokyo Shoseki transition materials (Unit 0)

Tokyo Shoseki (東京書籍; Tōkyō Shoseki), the publisher of the New Horizon series, has made available transition materials for 2nd and 3rd grade classes. These materials are called "Unit 0," and are designed to fill in the gaps created by the switch from the use of the 2016 New Horizon series last year.

Materials can be found on this page on the Tokyo Shoseki website.

MEXT transition materials (Bridge)

MEXT (文部科学省; Mombu-kagaku-shō) has published a supplementary teaching material designed to be used alongside textbooks in the 2021 and 2022 school years. The teaching material is called Bridge, and it includes all grammar points that were newly introduced in the 2021 Course of Study. Bridge was provided free of charge to all JHS 1st- and 2nd-grade students at the start of the 2020 school year with the intent that they continue to use it in 2021 and 2022.

This teaching material covers all grammar points which were added to the 2021 Course of Study (that did not exist in the previous Course of Study). However, this teaching material does not incorporate any grammar points which did exist in the previous Course of Study but have been shifted grade levels.

Bridge can be downloaded in its entirety from this page on the MEXT website.
