| JPN 290 embraces the students' experiences studying and living abroad in Hawaii. The course will further develop and refine interpersonal, presentational, interpretive, and cross-cultural communicative skills of native or near-native Japanese language speakers. Students will research and analyze Japanese language and culture from a socio-linguistic, historical and geographical perspective, develop cultural awareness, effectively convey knowledge about Japanese culture and communicate through cross-cultural communication. Students will develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills while examining case studies and participating in discussion and debates on social issues in Japan. Students will learn to unpack their study abroad experience in the U.S./Hawaii, reflect on their experience, the marketable skills they have and the skills they need to develop, and how they can connect those skills to the needs of the global workforce. |
