Course Description:
This course is a continuation of JAPN 301 to have students develop their communication skills in oral and written Japanese accurately, naturally, and fluently with more increased emphasis on reading and writing toward the end of the semester. Activities include discussing contents of dialogues and reading materials, doing role plays, writing essays on given topics, giving formal speeches in class, and having free-style conversations with TAs. Students will also learn about 150 new kanji. In the second half of the semester, we will start reading one or two works of short stories from Japanese literature and translating some English poems/songs into Japanese. This course is also offered under the Asian Studies program. Prerequisite for the course: JAPN-301 or instructor approval.
