Course Description

This series of intermediate Japanese courses for students who have completed two years of university Japanese aims to develop a balance in listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through a focus on discourse and sentence structure. Part A covers grammar review and approximately 200 new kanji. Part B uses contemporary authors and newspapers, and kanji and structure exercises. Part C further develops skills for communicating with native Japanese, again using contemporary writings and kanji and structure exercises. Texts are ZOKU ''YUMI'' E NO CHOSEN, FORMAL EXPRESSIONS FOR JAPANESE INTERACTION, essays, newspaper articles, and other contemporary writings. Assessment is based on class participation (10%), quizzes (kanji, structure, listening, conversation) (20-30%), oral reports and speeches (5-20%), written work (10%), and tests (grammar, reading, midterm, final) (50-60%). Note: ''Intermediate'' language levels at the host university are comparable to UC upper-division language courses. *Units reduced to correspond with UC quarter units for comparable course work.
