This course is the continuation of ASN 101 and will offer further development of proficiency in modern Japanese at the elementary level. Our emphasis is on listening, speaking, reading and writing modern Japanese and on understanding the language within Japanese culture. You will learn about 60 additional kanji. We'll cover L.5 to L.8 in Genki and supplemental materials in order to achieve the above objectives. Classroom performance and effort will be evaluated by you and your instructors.
Full attendance is mandatory.
Being late for the class three times will be counted as one absence. It is important to communicate with your instructors beforehand. The Tooban 's job is to write the date on the blackboard, talk about today's weather, and introduce 3 kanji in front of the class. Therefore you must prepare the reading, writing, and English equivalent, as well as how the kanji are used in context. You must talk to the instructor before your turn as Tooban.
