Japanese 402 - Thematic Read & Write

This course is a continuation of JAPA 401. In addition to learning how to search for the relevant material, read it with comprehension, and produce a high level of writing, the students will learn to conduct a small research project in this semester. The course will also focus on the development of a high level of speaking proficiency through discussions with classmates and the instructor. Small groups based on the students’ proficiency levels will be formed, so that instruction accords with the needs of each group. 

Requisite: JAPA 401 or equivalent. Fall and spring semesters. Professor Tawa and Five-College Senior Lecturer Brown.
