Charles E. Tuttle, 1997. Tokyo, Kodansha 4. We know that it takes longer to develop skills in Japanese than it does in the Romance languages. You will continue to develop proficiency in modern Japanese focused on listening, speaking, reading and writing within cultural context over this semester. You will learn more knowledge of Japanese language, people and their culture sufficient for carrying out functions at the intermediate level.
Full attendance is mandatory.
It is important to communicate with your instructors before hand. Effort to use Japanese all the time, preparation for the class including Tooban duty, role plays, oral presentations, and active participation is expected. At the end of each chapter, you will have a 50 min. It may includes Kanji from the previous semesters but you will have a lot of review kanji as well. Please make sure that you are on top of the material every day.
