Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome
To communicate well with others, especially in cross-cultural settings, it is crucial to have a good vocabulary and grammatical knowledge of the language used there, but this is not enough. We still misunderstand each other unless we correctly understand what they mean through their speech, which is sometimes not so easy. This course thus aims to explore Japanese everyday interaction from various socio-cultural aspects that may affect speakers’ways of interacting with others. By analyzing it in detail, comparing it to practices in other languages, and sharing experiences and opinions with classmates, you will gain more insight into how people select their words and expressions and thereby perform social actions. You will see socio-cultural phenomena of Japanese communication from a wider perspective, while observing and analysing your own language use and its possible impacts on others.
