JPNS 012. Third-Year Japanese

These courses aim to lead Japanese students into the intermediate-advanced level, deepening students’ exposure to Japanese culture through the study of authentic materials and the application of language skills in diverse linguistic contexts.

Students will continue to develop their expressive ability through use of more advanced grammatical patterns and idiomatic expressions, and will gain practice in composition and letter writing. These courses will introduce approximately 300 new kanji characters in addition to approximately 500 covered in first- and second-year Japanese.
