Japanese 297G - ST-ExtensiveJapaneseReading1

Students choose from a wide selection of Japanese books in the East Asian Collection and read at their own pace. The important part of extensive reading is to choose a book where you understand 90% - 95% of the content. In doing so, you can guess the meaning of a new vocabulary word based on the surrounding context without using a dictionary. Available texts cover a wide variety of genres and contain culturally relevant aspects of Japanese history and society to supplement materials studied in other courses. Students read authentic texts while gradually improving their reading comprehension, creating book reports and a final presentation based on texts read.

JAPANESE 110 or 126 Prerequisite: Japanese 110 or 126. Students who are currently not enrolled in any Japanese language courses may enroll in the course.
