JPNS-902 Elementary Japanese II
In this second-semester foundational course, students will advance their ability to apply four language skills -- listening, speaking, writing, and reading -- in order to expand their ability to communicate at a basic level by exchanging, interpreting, and presenting information; to compare Japanese-speaking cultures' practices, perspectives, and products to students' own cultures; to connect the Japanese language to other relevant disciplines; and to expand their use of the Japanese language outside of the classroom in limited contexts. Content and supporting language structures and vocabulary that support it will be theme-based, with outcomes measured in a variety of ways, including task-based activities that support effective communication around the theme. All World Language Classes include 50 minutes of required Lab time. MWF classes meet a second hour F for Lab. MW and TTH classes include Lab in their meeting time.
