Course Description: โ— This course will offer you opportunities to develop proficiency in modern Japanese
at the intermediate level. Our emphasis is on linguistic competency in four
components; listening, speaking, reading and writing. There is, however, another
important feature of language, which is the knowledge and understanding of the
target culture. The instructor will introduce and explain new expressions and
grammar patterns, give you the opportunities to practice them, and help you learn
Japanese in daily situations within cultural and social contexts. You will gradually
gain higher communicative competency in the Japanese language as a whole.
โ— This course is designed for those who have completed Japanese 102. If you have
taken Japanese at a different university, you must see the instructor immediately
regarding placement.

Coming in later than 12:10 p. m. will be counted as absence. 3 times of coming in late or leaving early without excusable reason will be also counted as one absence. If you have to leave early for any reason, please notify the instructor before the class starts. It is your responsibility to keep up with what you miss. โ— If you are traveling from another campus to this class and are having difficulty getting to class on time, please let the instructor be aware of your situation so that something can be worked out.

Participation: โ— In order to participate actively in class with accuracy and fluency, you are expected to read the textbook carefully and learn the vocabulary according to the course schedule before coming to class.

There will be additional assignments from time to time. โ— Your completed homework should be turned in at the beginning of class on the due date to be accepted for full credit. Those submitted the next day of the due date will earn part of the credit. Those submitted 2 days later than the due date will be corrected, but earn No credit (unless the delay is due to documented illness or emergency). Be sure to check your daily schedule carefully.

one for Lesson 21 will be included in the final examination. โ— If you are late to class, you will not be given extra time to complete the tests. โ— No make-ups will be arranged unless you have a valid reason (e.g. conference, job interview, illness, etc.) with an official document. Please notify your instructor beforehand if possible.
