JAPN 1002 - Japanese 1B: Beginner II

The Japanese IB: Beginner II course continues instruction and practice in the four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking, whilst enabling students to broaden and consolidate their basic knowledge of the Japanese language acquired in Japanese IA. In order to provide a solid foundation at the beginner level in both written and spoken Japanese, literacy skills will be emphasised to further develop towards the elementary level, and communication skills will be reinforced through aural-oral practice in classes.

The basic aims of Japanese IB are: i) to enhance and consolidate the introductory grammar; ii) to expand knowledge and use of vocabulary in both conversational and written contexts; iii) to develop communication skills/strategies;

iv) to become familiar with new kanji; v) to become efficient and independent language learners.
