Description
This module teaches speaking and listening skills in Japanese for students in the Japanese Intensive pathway. This module will prepare you for speaking in a variety of natural contexts with native speakers. Through a variety of games, pair-work and role-playing exercises, you will learn to talk about yourself, hold a conversation on everyday topics, ask questions each other in order to gather the information you need, and give a short presentation. Together with Japanese Intensive 1a and 1b, you will achieve the equivalent of CEFR A2 or JLPT N4 by the end of your first year.
