| Course content and
structure |
This course is part of the
propaedeutic year at ASP
An intensive course that provides students with knowledge of the
basic elements with regards to syntax, grammar, and colloquial
speech. The course will help the student to build a basic
vocabulary and communicate in basic everyday Japanese.
The course offers classes in various linguistic disciplines such as
grammar, speaking, writing, reading, and will give the student the
best prerequisite to start on Year 1 at ASP.Teaching is based on
the pedagogical textbook system “Genki 1” and “Genki
2” with text- and workbook. Each textbook includes an audio cd
and the student is expected to practice listening exercises
pertaining to each chapter at his/her own pace at home. An
intensive pronunciation class is offered for a limited period of
time in the middle of the semester. These classes take place in
themultimedia lab, where each student is able to their
pronunciation interactively with a native instructor. |
| Teaching methods |
Teaching methods combine lectures and
group work guided by cooperative learning principles that engage
each student to a maximum extend.
The introductory course is a demanding full-time study. Active
class participation and submission of a number of home assignments
are expected. We encourage the students to form smaller study
groups. |
