Advanced Japanese I: Course Description
This advanced Japanese language course, which is a follow-up to Intermediate Japanese, was presented by the Foreign Languages and Literatures Department at MIT for students completing undergraduate Japanese minors. Professors Ayumi Nagatomi and Yoshimi Nagaya were the 'Advanced Japanese I' instructors. In order to improve students' ability to converse spontaneously in Japanese, classroom sessions favored speaking practice over lectures. Proper grammar and social appropriateness of speech were emphasized, and 'Advanced Japanese I' students learned techniques for politely apologizing, accepting or declining invitations and expressing opinions. Outside of class, students practiced Japanese reading and writing skills.
'Advanced Japanese I' online course materials include downloadable readings, audio recordings of readings, Kanji (Japanese character) writing video lessons, downloadable assignments and links to online Japanese dictionaries.
