Second-Level Modern Japanese I

This is the first semester of an academic-year course in intermediate Japanese. The course emphasizes the acquisition of all four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) through meaningful communicative practices. It covers the basic vocabulary, expressions, and more grammatical structures and conjugation patterns. About 100 new kanji characters are introduced. Cultural aspects of the language are consistently incorporated in classroom practice to deepen students' cultural awareness and successful communication in the global era. After completing this course, students are able to understand and participate in daily conversation about their experience, past, present and future events in more complex Japanese, and to be able to express opinions/thoughts and present information. They are able to read and write more complex texts on topics related to oneself and their immediate environment with a solid understanding of main ideas and supporting details from a variety of texts. Prerequisite: L05 104D (grade of B- or better) or placement by examination.
