  • Bachelor’s elective courses in Japan Studies for CBS-students 2022
Content

The focus of teaching is applied language use. The course enables the student to communicate in elementary to lower intermediate Japanese about general topics related to culture and society.

The course will provide a general introduction to appropriate language and formality levels governing social interaction. We expand the range of vocabulary and kanji according to syllabus.

Teaching is based on text- and workbooks, and students will further build their skills in speaking, reading, grammatically analysing Japanese and translating it into English, and writing in Japanese.

The course activities include text reading, translation, reading aloud, written and oral translation exercises, oral interaction, teaching of Japanese characters, exercises in grammar and sentence analysis.
