JAPN 1560 is designed to help students develop well-balanced functional proficiency across the four language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Through a wide range of interactive activities, students actively engage in both formal and informal communication on diverse social issues in Japan. The course also strengthens sociolinguistic awareness, enabling students to interpret nuance and select appropriate registers across contexts. Course materials provide sustained opportunities to deepen understanding of contemporary Japanese society and multiple perspectives on social issues. The course is conducted entirely in Japanese.
