In accordance with the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) WorldReadiness Standards, this course focuses on the fundamentals of Japanese through a balanced approach to developing the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) across the three modes of communication (interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational), with emphasis on the five goal areas of communication, cultures, connections, comparisons, and communities. You will expand your knowledge of vocabulary, grammar, and the Japanese writing system (hiragana, katakana, and kanji), as well as Japanese culture and society. The course covers the following topics from the Genki textbook (Lessons 1–6): self-introductions, shopping and dining, daily life, towns and housing, travel, and rules and manners. You will acquire the basic language skills in an interactive classroom while engaging in various activities with your classmates and enjoying the learning process. The classroom language is Japanese with an occasional use of English.  \n*This course is designed for students who have no background in Japanese. If you have some background, please contact the Department of World Languages and Cultures office for a placement test.  \nLearning Outcomes  \nBy the end of the semester, you will be able to:  \n1) Listening: Comprehend everyday conversation and understand essential information.  \n2) Speaking: Communicate daily needs in common conversational situations.  \n3) Reading: Understand simple texts written in a combination of Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji.  \n4) Writing: Write simple passages on the topics of the semester.  \n5) Grammar: Demonstrate accurate linguistic knowledge.  \n6) Culture: Identify some key products and practices in Japanese culture and society.  \n7) Reflect your own learning process to develop skills for self-directed learning.  \nBy the end of the first-year course (two semesters), you should be able to develop proficiency at the Novice-Mid/High proficiency level according to the ACTFL proficiency guidelines.  \n1 This syllabus is subject to change at the discretion of the instructor.  \nApproaches and Expectations  \n• The course is taught using a communicative approach, emphasizing the use of Japanese in practical communicative situations. The instructor’s primary role is to create a learning environment in which everyone feels comfortable participating in class activities and engaging in meaningful language exchanges for language acquisition. As such, the instructor will refrain from extensive grammar lectures. Please complete the preview assignments before coming to class.  \n• We will use Japanese as much as possible, with occasional exceptions in the case of grammar clarification and housekeeping. You will not understand every word the instructor says. Do not worry---this is normal and expected J Listen to the instructor and your fellow students carefully, and your skills in determining meaning in context will improve overtime. If you want to speak in English, please first say 「Eego de ii desu ka?/In English, OK?」 Please also utilize the office hours if you would like to discuss anything in English.  \n• We will aim to support each other’s learning process through a positive atmosphere and a wide variety of activities. Be ready to participate in various pair and group activities with different classmates. Be nice to each other!  \n• This course requires a g","cbCaifbfx3ktvri3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifbfx3ktvri3","pdf",464541,"English","# Course Description and Objectives\n## Learning Outcomes\n## Approaches and Expectations\n## Materials and Resources","[{\"question\":\"Who is this course designed for, and is there a placement test?\",\"answer\":\"The syllabus is designed for students with no background in Japanese.
