| Course content and
structure |
|
This course is part of the preparatory year at ASP.
An intensive course that provides knowledge of the basic elements
with regards to syntax, grammar, and colloquial/formal speech. The
course will help the student to build basic vocabulary enabling
him/her to communicate in basic everyday Japanese.
The course offers classes in various linguistics disciplines
such as grammar, speaking, listening, writing, reading, and will
give the student solid prerequisites to start Year 1 at ASP.
Teaching is based on the Genki 2 textbook as well as audio inputs
corresponding to a beginners’ level.
|
| Teaching methods |
Teaching methods combine lectures and
group work guided by cooperative learning principles that engage
each student to a maximum extend. Some classes take place in the
Multimedia Lab, where each student is able to train listening
comprehension and practice pronunciation interactively with the
instructor.
The language of instruction is English for grammar and text
comprehension, while many of the speaking, writing and listening
classes will be conducted primarily in Japanese for the sake of
maximum exposure to and interaction in the language.
The introductory course is a demanding full-time study. Active
class participation is expected. We encourage the students to form
smaller study groups. |
