This course combines intensive study of the Japanese language with Spanish and a selection of lecture-based modules on Spain, Latin America, Japan and East Asia; the 3rd year of the course is spent at one of our partner universities in Japan, providing an excellent opportunity to enhance students’ language skills and to immerse them in Japanese society; the Japanese language is taught intensively from scratch, covering all the necessary skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing; students learn the phonetic scripts (kana) from the outset, and learn the roughly 2000 Sino-Japanese characters (kanji) needed over the 4 years of the course; by the end of the 1st year students have covered most of the core grammar of the language, and from the 2nd year of the course students start to deal with real texts, including newspapers, and develop compositional, summary, translation and presentational skills in the language; the Japan related lecture based modules cover a range of disciplines, so you can choose modules on contemporary society, literature, cinema, minorities, politics, economics, gender, modern history, business management or international relations; there are also some modules dedicated to reading Japanese literature in the original language, including both modern literature and the pre-modern language.SpanishOn the Spanish side students’ develop written and oral fluency in Spanish, supported by small-group learning on a weekly basis and by language laboratory, video and satellite TV facilities as well as weekly classes with native speakers.
