Abstract

Japanese 2 leads to A1.2 level on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. It is the second part of a five-semester Japanese course. This course builds on participants’ basic vocabulary and knowledge of Japanese sentence structures. The focus is on expanding participants’ ability to act and on increasing their range of expression.

Objective

Participants are able to use the Japanese language adequately in selected areas, and they can write logically structured texts about their daily lives and write these on a computer in Sino-Japanese mixed script. The focus is equally on fostering speaking, listening, writing, and reading skills at A1.2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, as well as on developing cultural competence. Special importance is attached to an academic environment and student life. The following content is dealt with: Invitations, rejections, and making appointments; leisure activities; personal preferences; family; making suggestions.
