Outline:
Classes will be conducted with a focus on students' presentations following text questions and Q&A sessions on the presentations. The goal of the course is to cover various issues in different situations where we use Japanese, and learn about the characteristics of Japanese expressions and thoughts of Japanese people through organizing knowledge, spontaneous observation, and appropriate implementation.
Style:
Classes will be held in a lecture style. Classes mainly involve students' presentations (using A4 one-page resumes) and Q&A sessions, and are intended to help students understand each theme and acquire presentation skills.
Contact: Masashi Zemitou and Masahiro Takeuchi
Notice:
This course's content will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports.
Students should be active in presentations and Q&A sessions, including pre-study, to ensure they learn the knowledge and skills necessary to express in Japanese language. There will be handouts as necessary, and quizzes.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
