JAPN 301: Advanced Japanese Culture, Language and Communication
This course continues to develop advanced level Japanese competency through further acquisition of Japanese cultural knowledge on a variety of fields and disciplines in content-based instruction. Taught in Japanese.
Reflective Narrative
In this class I was able to explore more deeply various topics in Japanese culture such as Traditional Japanese Arts, Manga, and Education. This gave me a chance to practice my Japanese through various projects such as in class readings, Q&A, extra emphasis on oral presentations and group work in class. Like before in JAPN 300, in this class we worked on print outs with the required information, no textbook was required. This class was also continued with the rule to present in Japanese without looking at note cards, relying solely on my spontaneous grasp of the language plus memorization. Additionally I was able to understand these topics more thoroughly with the help of my intermediate level Japanese skills which also lended themselves to give me the ability to express myself in more specific ways than before.
