JPN841: Issues in Japanese Language Teaching Pedagogy
This unit addresses the key areas of language acquisition specific to the Japanese language, particularly cultural attitudes governing Japanese language expressions. Topics covered include aspects of the language behaviour ruled by its culture, genre-specific generic structure/cohesion in Japanese texts, acquisition of particles as a semantic indicator, and reading mechanisms in various text types. The objective of the unit is to prepare the candidate to effectively deliver 'difficult areas' of the language teaching program. At the completion of the unit, the candidate will have acquired four major areas (speaking/listening, writing/reading) of communicative skills implicit in program delivery, and have developed initiative in resources development supported by current theoretical models.
