| Course content and
structure |
|
Japanese 2 is a lower-intermediate language course that builds
upon the knowledge acquired from Japanese 1, while gradually
increasing the level of difficulty. The course offers classes in
various linguistic disciplines such as grammar, reading and
translation, as well as conversation and writing with the goal of
strengthening the student’s ability to read and communicate in
Japanese. The focus of teaching is applied language use to enable
the student to communicate in lower-intermediate Japanese on
general topics related to culture and society. We continue to work
with translation as a tool to ensure reading
comprehension.
|
| Teaching methods |
| Teaching methods are comprised of
plenary sessions, group work in ongoing dialogue with instructors,
and individual writing and listening exercises. Teaching is based
on textbooks as well as audio-visual input corresponding to a
lower-intermediate level. The languages of instruction are the same
as in Japanese 1. Active involvement in class discussion and
activities is expected of all participants, so students should come
to class prepared to take part. |
