Japanese for Communication X

LAJA-40030

The primary goal of this course is to assist students to express their thoughts and experiences on diverse topics such as sharing what kinds of things their parents made them do or allow them to do, telling their happy and unhappy memories, understanding Japanese education and comparing it with the education in other countries, etc.  To achieve these goals, students are encouraged to experiment with their original discourses, while learning passive, causative, and causative-passive sentences.  Students will have plenty of opportunities to practice role-plays and have free conversations with their classmates and instructor.
