Advanced Japanese IV - JPS304
This unit is designed to develop skills in all areas of Japanese language (reading, writing, listening and speaking) to an advanced level of proficiency. Students learn to discuss a wide range of topics as well as substantially increase their knowledge of vocabulary and kanji. Materials include authentic Japanese texts chosen from a wide range of genres in order to expose students to a variety of writing styles and expressions which they can then use in their own work. This unit covers socio-linguistic aspects of Japanese communication including register, pragmatics and rhetorical conventions which will contribute to the development of students' intercultural competence, enabling them to communicate in a manner which is culturally as well as linguistically appropriate. Students will be encouraged to sit for Level 1 or 2 of Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) at the completion of this unit. The use of online resources provides students with opportunities to use Japanese as much as possible.
