JAPAN 2221Extensive Reading in Japanese - Tadoku1

In this course, students select their own Japanese reading materials and read independently at their own pace using the Extensive Reading (Tadoku) method. Tadoku means reading for enjoyment at a level where students can read smoothly and quickly without relying on dictionaries or translation. Students will meet in the class to read books at or slightly below their fluent reading level. Through this process, over the semester they will gradually build vocabulary and kanji knowledge, improve prediction skills, and develop the ability to read more complex sentences with ease. The primary focus of the class is individual reading and one-on-one consultations with the instructor. Additional activities—such as group discussions, journal writing, and presentations—will also be incorporated.
