1) Japan developed a feudal system in the mid-1000s CE as the imperial government weakened and regional clans gained power. Farmers traded land to powerful warlords called daimyo in exchange for protection. Daimyo were served by loyal samurai warriors who lived by a code of honor.
2) From 1560-1600 CE, three powerful daimyo unified Japan - Oda Nobunaga used force, Toyotomi Hideyoshi used alliances, and Tokugawa Ieyasu completed the unification in 1600 and established a military government called the Tokugawa Shogunate.
3) The Tokugawa Shogunate ruled Japan peacefully and isolated it

Japanese History
ANCIENT JAPAN
The First Japanese
Human beings have lived in Japan for at least 30,000 years. During the last ice age Japan was connected to mainland Asia by a land bridge and stone age hunters were able to walk across. When the ice age ended about 10,000 BC Japan became a group of islands.
About 8,000 BC the ancient Japanese learned to make pottery. The period from 8,000 BC to 300 BC is called the Jomon. The word Jomon means 'cord marked' because those people marked their pottery by wrapping cord around it. The Jomon people lived by hunting, fishing and collecting shellfish. The Jomon made tools of stone, wood and bone. They also made clay figurines of people and animals called dogu.
Between 300 BC and 300 AD a new era began in Japan. At that time the Japanese learned to grow rice. They also learned to make tools of bronze and iron. The Japanese also learned to weave cloth.
This period is called Yayoi. (It was named after a village called Yayoicho). Farming meant a more settled lifestyle. Yayoi people lived in villages of wooden huts. Farming and other skills also meant society became divided into classes. The leaders of Yayoi society were buried in mounds away from the ordinary people's burial grounds.
The Kofun Period in Japan
The Yayoi period was followed by the Kofun (from 300 AD to 710 AD).
At this time Japan gradually became united. The rich and powerful men of the era were buried in vast tombs called Kofun. Clay figures called haniwa were placed around the tombs to guard them. At that time Japan was heavily influenced by China. About 400 AD writing was introduced into Japan from China. The Japanese also learned to make paper from the Chinese. They also learned to make porcelain, silk and lacquer. The Japanese also learned to plan cities in the Chinese way.
According to tradition in 552 AD the king of Paekche in Korea sent priests to convert Japan to Buddhism. The native Japanese religion is called Shinto, which means 'the way of the gods'. Shinto teaches that spirits are present everywhere in nature. Every natural phenomena such as a mountain, lake, tree, waterfall and even rock has a spirit. Shinto does not have prophets or a sacred book but its teachings were passed on in myths. Shinto has many ceremonies and festivals. The two religions, Buddhism and Shinto co-existed peacefully in Japan. Shinto is more concerned with this life and its followers frequently pray for things they need or desire. Buddhism is more concerned with what happens after death. Most of the Japanese were happy to practice both religions.
The Kofun Period in Japan
Furthermore in the 7th century AD the emperor became more powerful. Prince Shotoku (574-622) ruled as regent to Empress Suiko. He was a patron of the arts and learning. He brought scholars from China and Korea to Japan and he adopted the Chinese calendar.
Shotoku also built the Horyuji Buddhist temple and monastery in 607. It burned down in 670 but it was rebuilt and became ...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

5. Before 400 CE, Japan was not a unified nation but was
ruled by hundreds of different family clans
6. Geography of Japan
Japan’s island location provided
protection from potential
Chinese and Mongol invasions…
…but Japan was
close enough to
borrow cultural
ideas from China
7. Japan’s isolation gave rise to a unique culture;
this culture produced the Shinto religion
8. Shinto is a polytheistic religion based on the
respect of nature and ancestor worship
9. Shinto is a polytheistic religion based on the
respect of nature and ancestor worship
10. Shinto worshippers believe in divine spirits
called kami that live in nature; they build
shrines devoted to nature called “torii”

15. As Japan had more contact with Asia,
it adopted Chinese culture and ideas; some ideas
were adopted successfully, others were not
For example, Japan tried, but failed, to model the
Chinese examination system for government officials
16. Japan adopted the Chinese idea of an emperor and
rule by dynasties; the first Japanese emperor was said
to have descended from the sun goddess
Unlike China, Japanese
emperors often did not
have ultimate power
over the various clan
leaders; Japan often
had an emperor
figurehead who served
as a symbol of power
and clan rulers with
true power
21. In the mid-700s, Buddhism was introduced
in Japan, spreading from China and Korea
22. This combination of
Buddhism and Shinto
is an excellent
example of religious
syncretism (mixing of
religious beliefs)
Buddhism was accepted
by Japanese emperors,
but in common
Japanese society, the
two religions, Buddhism
and Shinto, blended
This new religion was
called Zen Buddhism
23. Classical Japan during the Heian Period
■?
From the year 794 CE to the year 1185 CE, Japan
entered a classical era during the Heian Period
During this
time, the
imperial
government
was strong
and Japan
experienced
an era of
peace and
prosperity
24. As it was with
numerous other
societies during
times of peace
and stability,
Japan developed a
“golden age” in
poetry, art, and
literature during
the Heian Period
Classical Japan during the Heian Period
28. Japanese Feudalism
Farmers traded
land to strong
warlords called
daimyo, who
offered
protection in
exchange for land
Daimyo were
served by
loyal warriors
called
samurai
The emperor
had little real
power
29. Samurai warriors
lived by a code
called Bushido
which demanded
courage, loyalty,
sacrifice, fairness,
and honor
Samurai were highly
skilled swordsmen,
but also used horses
and guns (after the
arrival of Europeans
in Japan)
Japanese Feudalism
30. Samurai warriors
were usually relatives
or dependents of
daimyo, although
some were hired
warriors called
“Ronin”
Japanese Feudalism
The most powerful
daimyo was the
overall military leader
of Japan and held the
title of “Shogun”
31. ■ Text
In 1192, the first
shogun was named
by the emperor
The emperor
remained in place,
but the shogun held
real power and ruled
as military dictator
Shoguns’ power varied
over time, but the
pattern of government
controlled by a shogun
lasted until 1867
Japanese Feudalism
34. From 1560 to 1600, three powerful
daimyo, known as the three unifiers,
began to restore order and unify Japan
Oda Nobunaga Toyotomi Hideyoshi Tokugawa Ieyasu
35. From 1560 to 1600, three powerful
daimyo, known as the three unifiers,
began to restore order and unify Japan
Oda Nobunaga Toyotomi Hideyoshi Tokugawa Ieyasu
In 1568, a brutal daimyo
named Oda Nobunaga
conquered the Japanese
capital of Kyoto
Oda seized power by force,
was the first to use guns
effectively, and eliminated
Buddhist rivals that refused to
accept rule by the emperor
By the time of his death in
1582, Japan was not unified
36. From 1560 to 1600, three powerful
daimyo, known as the three unifiers,
began to restore order and unify Japan
Oda Nobunaga Toyotomi Hideyoshi Tokugawa Ieyasu
Oda Nobunaga’s best general
was Toyotomi Hideyoshi who
took over after Oda’s death
Toyotomi was resourceful
and not ruthless like Oda;
he used political alliances,
adoption, and marriage to
gain power over the daimyo
By 1590, Toyotomi Hideyoshi
controlled most of Japan
and tried unsuccessfully to
conquer Korea
37. From 1560 to 1600, three powerful
daimyo, known as the three unifiers,
began to restore order and unify Japan
Oda Nobunaga Toyotomi Hideyoshi Tokugawa Ieyasu
After Toyotomi’s death in 1598,
one of his daimyo allies named
Tokugawa Ieyasu completed the
unification of Japan in 1600
In 1603, Tokugawa became shogun
of Japan, moved to capital to Edo
(later called Tokyo), and restored
government and order to Japan
Tokugawa ruled until 1615, but
he created a line of succession
called the Tokugawa Shogunate
that ruled Japan until 1867
39. Tokugawa Shogunate
For more than 250 years,
Tokugawa’s successors
ruled Japan as shoguns
During this time, Japan
benefited from peace; the
economy boomed and
became more commercial
40. European merchants
and missionaries first
arrived in Japan
in the mid-1500s
Tokugawa enjoyed trade with
Europeans and was fascinated
to learn about their military,
new technologies, and ideas
Tokugawa Shogunate
41. Between 1549 and 1600,
European missionaries
had converted 300,000
Japanese to Christianity
This upset Tokugawa
because the missionaries
ignored Japanese cultural
beliefs and laws
In 1612, Tokugawa
banned Christianity and
began ruthlessly
persecuting Christians
All Japanese were forced
to be faithful to Buddhism Execution of Christians
Tokugawa Shogunate
46. During this era of
isolation, Japan
had some
profitable trade,
but mainly
became self-
sufficient,
limited foreign
ideas, and
reduced Europe’s
ability to
colonize Japan
