Outline |
|
The aim of this course is to help international students to acquire knowledge, skills, and attitude as the study objective 1, 2, 3 of general basic subjects. In this course, we will comprehensively enhance the four skills of "Japanese reading, writing, listening, and speaking" which are the basis of university life and daily life. For "reading/writing" skills, participants are expected to enrich vocabulary and enhance reading comprehension ability and writing ability in Japanese via reviewing or summarizing the grammar items already learned. For "listening/speaking" skills, the students are able to learn Japanese expressions, necessary vocabulary and proper way of Japanese use for smooth communication in university and daily life via incorporating appropriate pair work into lecture. Also, in lesson 17, 19, 21, and 23, students will make presentations. Of all 30 lessons, participants mainly practice "listening and speaking" at odd numbered lessons, and "reading/writing" at even numbered lessons. Contents of two continuous lessons are mutually related.
