日本語（９２）上級総合（L6-LS）

This course is designed for advanced students (L6-LS).

The course will help students learn the academic Japanese necessary for college life in a comprehensive manner. Through the integrative use of the Japanese language (listening, reading, speaking, and writing), students will not only develop academic language skills but also gain insights into themselves in relation to Japan and the globalized world, particularly in the context of career development. The course will provide fundamental training in analytical reading, discussion, presentation, interviewing and academic writing, focusing on essential topics and issues that students face in the present and near future. Classroom activities are primarily based on collaborative learning, such as group work and peer review, enabling students to develop dialogic competence and reflect on their language use and perspectives.

Specifically, by the end of the course, students are expected to be able to

1)Analytically read semi-academic texts or other course mater.
2)Precisely conduct interviews and execute related activities.
3)Write well-structured essays that cite trustworthy sources.
4)Increase vocabulary and expressions necessary for academic contexts.
5)Develop collaborative competence.
