Course description

JAPN2021 is a foundational course. JAPN2022 consolidates and extends students' knowledge and abilities to use the structure and vocabulary acquired in JAPN1011 and JAPN1012. Students can only enrol in this course if they have completed JAPN2021, or are enrolled in JAPN2021 in the same semester as they are enrolled in JAPN2022. Students who have completed any JAPN3*** coded courses are not eligible to enrol in this course. The focus of the course is on using the written language in daily settings through practical use of the three Japanese scripts in various contexts to enhance linguistic, cultural and social understanding of Japan and its language. Students continue to develop cultural understanding through engaging with a foreign language, and hone effective language study strategies for lifelong learning.
