Available to students in other Western Sydney University Courses :
YES, if the specialisation is available on your Home campus. Please ensure your course structure allows space for enrolment in the units in this unit set. Students must also meet any pre-requisite requirements. Consult your Course Advisor for further advice.
Language specialisations aim to enable students to develop an appropriate level of proficiency in a second language which may be used for professional purposes such as teaching, interpreting and translation, business or international relations. Students undertaking a language specialisation will be able to use the language in question according to its grammatical and pragmatic principles, communicate with native speakers appropriately in the spoken as well as the written mode, and demonstrate an understanding of the cultures and societies associated with the language.

Structure
Inherent Requirements
There are inherent requirements for this major that you must meet in order to successfully complete the major. Make sure you read and understand the requirements for your course online.
Inherent Requirements
There are three entry levels into language majors. Beginner’s level is for those with no previous study or minimal study of the language. Intermediate level is typically for students who: are non-native speakers with study of the language to HSC 2 Unit level or have a home background in the language but no comprehensive formal study. Post-Intermediate level is typically for students who are non-native speakers with substantial formal study and near-native competence; or are literate native speakers of the language. Students should consult with the Languages staff regarding the progression sequence that best fits their level of skill. During the first two weeks of class, the lecturer will monitor the performance of students and advise students who need to transfer to a higher or lower class. Students may consult with the Languages Course Advisor, if they are unsure of their entry level. Students should avoid enrolling in units at different levels at the one time (e.g. you should not enrol in Japanese 201 and 301 at the same time). Please check the current timetable as some units may not be offered every year. Advanced (Level 3) units may be offered on a rotational basis.
A major in Japanese comprises a sequence of 80 credit points with 60 credit points at Levels 2 and 3 (with no less than 30 credit points of these at Level 3), however students commencing at beginners level, that is units 101 and 102, and who follow the recommended course structure, are only required to complete 20 credit points at Level 3.
Students should take units that reflect their level of competence in the language and they should not backtrack, i.e. they must not:
- take a Level 1 unit after passing a Level 2 unit in the same language; or
- take a Level 2 unit after passing a Level 3 unit in the same language.
