Are you into Japanese manga, anime, novels, films, games, technology, cuisines or Tokyo fashion? Perhaps creators such as Miyazaki Hayao or Murakami Haruki? Find your own version of cool Japan by learning the language. In this major, students learn all aspects of the Japanese language and concentrate on developing practical communicative competence in Japanese. A wide range of topics including Japanese Media and Japanese Society are covered within the content, and interactive face-to-face classroom activities are combined with Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Students even get to have real-time communication with Japanese people on chat line as part of the major. The Japanese exchange programs also enable students to explore both modern and traditional Japan by studying at one of the exchange partner universities.
This unit set information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
