Beginning Japanese: ALLEX Program

4 units

This course is an intensive, introductory course in Japanese language, designed for students with no previous background in Japanese. This course builds a solid foundation in Japanese with a focus on oral interaction. We will also work on the Japanese writing system and learn to read simple texts written in Japanese. The majority of the class time will be spent on students' performance in Japanese in cultural contexts. Students are expected to spend at least 90 minutes preparing for in-class performance.
