This course will build and develop strong language skills in three modes of communication: interpretive (reading, listening, and viewing), interpersonal (conversation and text chat), and presentational (oral presentation and written essay). Speaking activities will explore formal and casual speaking styles. Reading will focus on understanding of culturally relevant topics and further mastery and acquisition of new vocabulary and kanji through the process. As in preceding courses in the sequence, activities will revolve around lectures, discussions, presentations, and other performance based tasks. Students will also learn more about Japanese culture through films, games, and history. Class will be conducted mostly in Japanese. This course covers the full content of the high school AP curriculum.
Prerequisite: Completion of Third-Year Japanese with A- or above, or completion of Fourth-Year Japanese with B- or above, or permission of the Director.
