This unit is designed to build upon language skills developed in JAPN1401 Japanese 1. It further develops linguistic and cultural competency at the beginners' level. The unit emphasises the four linguistic skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) equally, and students are able to demonstrate their control of basic vocabulary and sentence patterns in both the common polite and neutral registers, expanding spoken and written communicative competence to include simple description of present and past actions. Successful completion of this unit brings students to the Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level N5 or the ISLPR Level 1. -- Course Website
