Japanese Language in Media

Reading and listening skills are reinforced through reading and listening complex written and spoken texts taken from the web and media in Japanese. The students are familiarised with the most recent sources of information about recent events in Japan, devices for reading and understanding more complex texts in Japanese, translation tools and tools for the active use of Japanese. Basic lexicographic terms and terminology, principles and techniques help to broaden, reinforce and process vocabulary knowledge. The students' writing ability is reinforced through summarizing and writing short texts in Japanese about topics learned during exercises for reading and listening comprehension. The students reinforce their speaking abilities through presentations of collected data in Japanese and active participation during discussions about the same topics.
