The course will continue to emphasize reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, and will familiarize students with various aspects of Japanese culture through the textbook and other media and study materials. Textbook Genki Lesson 5-Lesson 8 will be covered and 56 additional kanji will be introduced. By the conclusion of the semester, students will demonstrate proficiency in the following areas: 1. Read and write in Japanese. 2. Formulate coherent paragraphs employing Kanji characters. 3. Articulate descriptions of various activities. 4. Express personal opinions. 5. Appropriately cite and reproduce individuals' spoken statements. 6. Engage in dialogues utilizing both formal and informal linguistic registers. 7. Gain insights into Japanese history and culture. 8.
