Subject Description | This is the beginners introductory level subject. Its focus is to provide basic expressions to the students to enable them to survive and function day to day in Japan. Students will learn Japanese writing systems: hiragana and katakana syllabaries, and 60 basic kanji (Chinese characters). Through learning kanji, students will also be encouraged to develop meta-cognitive awareness of kanji, which assists further kanji learning in future. Students are also introduced to aspects of Japanese culture which lie in the background of its language use. Their Japanese acquisition will be also assisted by independent learning in computer assisted language learning and language laboratory use. |
