JPN 110-111 - Elementary Japanese I and II

Institution:

University of Hartford

Subject:

Description:

The primary purpose of this course is to learn spoken Japanese. To this end, greater emphasis is placed on developing speaking and listening-comprehension skills than on writing and reading skills. These will come later. The course emphasizes culture: Japanese that is normal and natural. Thus, for example, students hear Japanese spoken at normal speed, and they are expected to speak with correct pronunciation and culturally appropriate behavior, such as bowing, which would make a native Japanese feel comfortable. An additional hour of work in the language lab is required throughout the course (one hour per semester) to reinforce oral skills through extensive drill practice.
