It will help students develop their basic abilities with respect to daily conversation, discussions, and presentations. This class will focus on how to gather and present information about Japanese culture, as if the students were cultural ambassadors for Japan. The theme of the course is Understanding Japan. The first half of the course will involve use of textbook lessons to familiarize students with necessary vocabulary to discuss famous places in Japan and aspects of Japanese language and culture. The second half will be dedicated to preparing a PowerPoint presentation to introduce different aspects of life in Japan. The presentations will involve an initial rehearsal session with feedback from the instructor and classmates to improve any weak points, and a final presentation that will be the cumulative assignment for the course. |

This course involves a lot of discussion, so students should be prepared to talk and participate actively even though the class will be conducted remotely. If students miss online classes five times with no explanation they will automatically fail the class. There are many in-class activities so attendance is essential. The presentation requires a high level of preparation. The course is taught in English with some Japanese used to discuss presentation approach and content. |
