Genki II: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese II - textbook & workbook |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The primary language of this class is Japanese. While online videos will explain new material in English, all synchronous sessions, classroom commands, instructions, etc. will be in Japanese and it is expected that when you have questions, you will ask them in Japanese. Even when speaking to your fellow classmates, try to use Japanese as much as possible and avoid the habit of clarifying in English what someone is saying in Japanese. In addition, avoid using dictionaries and the textbook glossary during synchronous sessions. If you forget how to say a word, ask your partner in Japanese how to say it. If neither of you know, then ask the instructor in Japanese. Class time is extremely limited, and thus extremely valuable, and you should spend as much of it as possible actively using the language. |
Grades will be evaluated as follows: | |||
In-class Participation |
4 x 3% = 12% |
Last semester we completed Genki II lessons 13-18 and this year we pick up where we left off, beginning with Lesson 19 and covering the remaining chapters. However, we will be dividing the chapters up differently, covering lessons 19-20 together, then 21, 22, and 23. At this pace we should finish the textbook just after spring break. As with JPN 201, each lesson will consist of in-class participation, homework, quiz, and exam grades, each of which is worth 3% of your total grade. Unlike last semester, there will be no kanji, wrting, speaking, or web assignments. Instead, each week we don't have an exam we will instead have a realia assignment. The remainder of the class will be spent pursuing one or more group projects, focused on project-based learning. This project will be entirely student-driven, and we will discuss the sructure of this project and our approach to it later in the semester. The course schedule on Blackboard is the most accurate picture of our day-to-day assignments, and you should refer to it frequently. |
