This course:
- assumes a knowledge of the Japanese syllabary and ability to read hiragana and katakana
- is designed to be completed in 8 weeks, working at your own pace within the 8 week period
- is made up of 8 units in each stage, the last being a revision unit
- includes written tasks to be completed at the end of each unit and sent to the instructor by email or fax
- offers optional speaking practice with the instructor by phone
The eight units will be available online from each Monday. Previous weeks’ units will remain online for you to refer to during the course. Each unit will finish with a production task sheet. You will be required to complete each week’s production task sheet and fax it to the Japan Foundation by the following Monday. |
