About this Unit
This unit is normally taken concurrently with, or after, Japanese 201. It is designed to develop and expand speaking and listening skills based on the grammatical knowledge developed in Japanese 201. The range of communicative transactions is increased so that more sophisticated exchanges are possible when, for example, using polite and plain (i.e. casual) styles of speech, describing one's conjecture, stating an opinion, or asking for explanation. Cultural and social understanding of Japanese society is also fostered leading towards a successful visit and stay in Japan.
