Subject Description

This subject aims to enhance those linguistic and technical skills required in research and presentation by using modern technology as an aid. It will familiarise students with internet searches, email correspondence, and electronic presentation. All activities are conducted in Japanese. Students should learn different styles of the language through a) massive readings on the Net, b) electronic correspondence with native speakers of Japanese, and c) making slides for presentation. Students should also acquire basic skills for reading hypertexts with help of an on-line dictionary, emailing in Japanese, and presenting their work using presentation software.
