This unit follows on from JAPN2404 Japanese 4 or JAPN2204 Japanese Intermediate II and provides further development of linguistic and cultural competency, including the ability to read short news articles from print and electronic media. While the unit covers the four linguistic skills, it has an increased focus upon the use of sociolinguistic elements such as ultra-formal registers, as well as upon engagement with prose texts rather than dialogues. It increases learners' effective communication skills to meet routine practical and social demands relevant to students at tertiary level. Successful completion of this unit brings students to the ISLPR Level 2+. -- Course Website
