Class Description:
This course is the first of a two-semester sequence of Beginning Japanese; it is for students who have no previous knowledge of Japanese. It aims to begin developing communication skills in Japanese. Therefore, the course introduces the four skills of language (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) as well as culture-specific skills (do's and don'ts). Topics covered in this semester include meeting people for the first time, shopping, extending invitations, describing location, making offers, making a request, and asking for/giving permission. The course consists of 2 hours of lecture session and 5 hours of discussion session per week. Lectures include grammar and sociocultural aspects of Japan. Discussions are performance-oriented; teachers guide students' practice in Japanese situations. Students are expected to spend 2 hours per day doing homework and practicing with CDs/tapes for each class. Textbook: Banno. et al. "Genki I: An integrated course in elementary Japanese."
