Masuyama Page 2 Course Description: This course is designed to being students from the beginner level to the intermediate level where they can reinforce, utilize, and expand what they have learned in communicating in Japanese. Equal emphasis will be placed on the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing and plus cultural knowledge. This course is a continuation of JAPN 116A, and it counts toward Japanese Minor (Read about the Minor at the end of this course syllabus). 3 units. Pre-‐requisites: Students are required to have intermediate Japanese language proficiency and basic computer skills. • • • Students should have successfully completed two years of Japanese language study (JAPN2B) or equivalent. It is best to take this course after completing JAPN116A. Students must have basic computer technology literacy. Students should be motivated and disciplined for independent and individual study. At the same time, students should be collaborative with his or her partner(s). Student Learning Outcomes: All upper-‐division classes are designed to bring students from the beginner level to the intermediate level where they can reinforce, utilize, and expand what they have learned in communicating in Japanese, and to build solid foundation to help the learner’s transition into advanced Japanese. In this course, you are expected to solidify the grammar, vocabulary and Kanji foundation built during study at the beginner level while learning content. You are expected to expand their four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) and the socio-‐cultural knowledge they need for communication. There are fifteen lessons in the Tobira textbook (上級へのとびら). In JAPN 116A, you learned Japanese geography, Japanese speech style, Japanese technology, and Japanese food. In JAPN116B, we will be working the following topics (Religion, Popular culture, Traditional performing arts, and Education). At the end of the course, students are able to do the followings in Japanese: • • Give descriptions, explanations, and/or interpretations on religions in Japan, Japanese popular culture, traditional performing arts, and education in Japan. Exchange one’s opinions; maintain face-‐to-‐face conversations and handle social situations, using communication strategies such as asking for clarifications; ask and answer questions, initiate and respond to statements in situations that are somewhat beyond their immediate daily needs; and express feelings and emotions (Interpersonal Communication) Spring 2016 K.

The class activities are designed by taking into consideration the following elements: content-‐based, project-‐based, hands-‐on; collaborative learning; and multiple approaches to the assessments. Course procedures The class meets three times a week. The information and material related to this course will be posted on SacCT (http://online.csus.edu).

Review the vocabulary each day so that you can Spring 2016 K. Masuyama Page 5 continue to recall old and new words easily. Take online exercises for preview and review.

Spring 2016 K. Masuyama Page 7 Make-‐up policy As a basic rule, no make up or extension will be given for the graded items which you have missed by coming late to or absent from the class. However, make ups may be given on a case-‐ by-‐case basis, normally with medical and course/career-‐related excuses, only if you do both of the following: 1) You provide the instructor with an official statement (written by a doctor, an advisor, etc.) which explains your absence. AND 2) You provide the excuse as soon as possible – SacCT email or phone (916-‐278-‐5667); typically before the class for the expected events and after (but as soon as possible) the class for unexpected events. In the case above, for the homework assignments, the first day of presence after the absence is considered as the due date, and for the other graded items, the appointment must be made for a make up in a timely manner. The homework assignments may be handed in before the due date for the full credit, if the student cannot be present on the due date. Class Rules • • • No food, No drink for Teaching Lab. No food in class. No gum in the classroom, PLEASE. Also, if you carry a cellular phone, please keep it off. Please respect each other and show consideration towards your classmates and instructor. Your active participation in class activities will greatly enhance your progress in Japanese. Please do not be afraid of making mistakes/errors in the classroom. Since JAPN116B is a combined course for students of the third-‐year and fourth-‐year Japanese language, students’ proficiency level may range from Intermediate Low to pre-‐Advanced level. In a multi-‐level class, it is very important to work collaboratively. If you know more Japanese or perform better, please help others. If your proficiency level is lower than others, please keep a positive attitude towards learning. As long as you demonstrate excellence in your performance within your proficiency range, you have an equal opportunity to obtain an “A” for this course. Some students may be at the advanced level of Japanese language speakers: they are expected to demonstrate their improvement throughout the semester. Other issues Academic dishonesty The principles of truth and honesty are recognized as fundamental to a community of scholars and teachers. California State University, Sacramento (CSUS) expects that both faculty and students will honor these principles, and in so doing, will protect the integrity of academic work and student grades. Please read “Academic Honesty Policy and Procedures” http://www.csus.edu/admbus/umanual/UMA00150.htm Spring 2016 K.

Japanese Minor Program To attain a Minor in Japanese, students need to complete four (4) advanced language courses, which are taught in Japanese. Recommended courses are 116A, 116B, 110 & 150 (12 units). JAPN120, 195, & 199 can be used towards the Minor (See the details: http://catalog.csus.edu/10-‐12/programs/japn.html). By the end of the minor program, the majority of the students are expected to demonstrate Intermediate Mid level proficiency in tasks. Students with Intermediate Mid proficiency are able to handle successfully a variety of uncomplicated, basic and communicative tasks and social situations. They can talk about self and family members; ask and answer questions on topics on immediate needs; e.g., personal history and leisure time but speech may continue to be characterized by frequent long pauses, since the smooth incorporation of even basic conversational strategies is often hindered as the speaker struggles to create appropriate language forms. Pronunciation may continue to be strongly influenced by first language and fluency may still be strained. Some students, especially those who participate in the study abroad program in Japan, demonstrate the Intermediate High or the Advanced level proficiency in Japanese. For more information, visit http://www.csus.edu/fl/japanese/minor-‐ major.html Students are expected to pass Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) N3 after having studied Japanese for three – four years in their study of Japanese. Exceptional students may be able to pass Japanese Language Proficiency Test (N2).
