JAPN 312: Advanced Japanese for Careers
Course Description:
This course is designed to develop a functional use of Japanese and cultural perspectives and concepts for professional occupations such as education, business, technology, and hospitality. Students will learn how to interact and collaborate in a variety of situations that focus on business etiquette and effective communication as members of the business community. Taught in Japanese.
Course Narrative:
This course was one of the more intense courses I've taken from both language and cultural acquisition. One of the two MLO's this course fulfilled was MLO 1 where we did weekly vocab sheets that included important phrases for the chapter. As this was specifically a course catered towards business workplace manners, JAPN 312 also completed MLO 2 as seen within the worksheet linked previously where we learned under what circumstance to say each important phrase. While this class felt very challenging to me, there are still a lot of content I have retained due to the fact that I will become a JET in 2023. I hope to utilize these newly found skills to help me transition into a new life and culture especially focused within a work place.
