UNIVERSITY CATALOG: 2023-2024

Prerequisite: JAPN 102 or equivalent. Can be taken concurrently with JAPN 201. Students learn to read and write 500 basic kanji characters, and learn to use them in context. The course will provide students with the opportunity to further their study of Japanese language and culture and to increase functional language competence. Reading comprehension and writing skills will be targeted with the use of readings, compositions and exercises, including web-based programs and reading materials. The course will include formal study of language structure, although not as the central focus of the course content. The course will be particularly helpful to students planning on learning as many kanji as possible, and eventually all the 1,950 “Kanji for Common Use.” (Available for General Education, F Comparative Cultural Studies.)
