This course is designed to further advance high intermediate Japanese learners’ listening skills and to improve their vocabulary, sentence patterns and expressions as well as deepen their understanding of Japanese culture. Students explore contemporary Japanese usage and culture through Japanese TV dramas including animation and everyday listening materials. Although the focus is on listening, exposure to authentic Japanese materials will enhance students’ communicative competence in their four language skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing).
