JAPANESE 120, 126 or 197TK The course is open to students who are not currently enrolled in a Japanese language course.

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.
