About this Unit
In 2013, this unit replaced by 102028 - Japanese 201 and 102029 - Japanese 202. This is post-beginner unit for intermediate level study of modern Japanese language and its culture suitable for Post HSC entry. It aims to develop all four core skills, listening, speaking, reading and writing, towards more sophisticated communicative transactions ranging from casual to formal styles of speech. However, the special focus of this unit is on developing, in particular, listening and speaking skills in the Japanese language in relation to oral aspects of contemporary culture and society of Japan. Cultural and social understanding is also fostered through research projects on specific cultural or social aspects that are of interest to students. A range of CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) activities are utilised for this unit. The knowledge of kanji is increased to 260 characters.
