Japanese Levels 4+5: Business and Current Affairs (LCJA0012)

The aim of the course is to enable students who already have a reasonably advanced knowledge of Japanese to acquire a better fluency in the language to be able to communicate in all situations within Japanese speaking countries.

It teaches specialised vocabulary to enable participants to use their language skills in a professional environment, such as meetings and conferences, as well as covering related topics such as current affairs and the latest trends in Japanese society. 

The course will enhance knowledge of Japanese life, society and business culture using complex and linguistically accurate structures (different types of discourse, register). 

Cultural awareness will be further developed and raised within a European/global context.  Language learning skills, including autonomous learning and how to approach authentic material, will be further enhanced.  Various transferable skills will also be covered.

The course will cover linguistic structures (a variety of styles and registers from a range of academic authentic material). Various transferable skills will also be developed.
