Description
This course aims for "improvement of listening comprehension and reading comprehension" (=> grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation practice is not enough)
Most "online Japanese language learning" focuses on grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. Almost no courses have been established to improve listening, reading and writing skills.
The purpose of this course is to have ability to find out the important part of a sentence with background knowledge and creativity / imagination, and understand what you want to say as a whole, even if you do not understand some vocabulary, grammar, and expression methods.
It is not easy for foreigners to increase their vocabulary. I also find it difficult to learn the detailed expressions and grammar of Japanese. I keep grammar and vocabulary to the minimum necessary, and with the given background knowledge and creativity and imagination, what do I want to say in the whole sentence, what kind of way of thinking, what is the conclusion. The emphasis is on understanding that.
Therefore, after learning "conjunctions that influence the development of a story or sentence", "contracted forms" that are often used in conversational sentences, and "sentence patterns" to understand the structure and flow of sentences (syntax of conclusions and reasons, 5W1H syntax, etc.) ", I try to improve listening comprehension and reading comprehension by using the words that Japanese people use in ordinary life in "commentary sentences" and "conversational sentences".
The practice of reading aloud and slash reading is taken into consideration because it is very important to improve reading and listening skills in order to improve Japanese.
In addition to information on university life, we will introduce many wonderful seasons in Japan.
The teaching materials are "conjunction" and "contracted form", "commentary" on social and economic issues, and "conversation" on how to study Japanese between international students and Japanese uncles.The Conversation Sentence is based on a conversation between Rion, an international student from Australia, and the uncle at the house where he is homestaying.
Who this course is for:
- People who want to study listening comprehension and reading comprehension
- People who want to study at a Japanese university
