Extensive Reading in Japanese II (1-2 cr): Thursday, 4:30-5:20/6:10 pm

In this course, students choose their own Japanese reading materials from the Hesburgh Library Collection (First Floor Fish Bowl) and read them independently at their own pace using the extensive reading method. Tadoku (extensive reading) means to read books for students’ own pleasure, at a difficulty level at which they can read smoothly and quickly without looking up words or translating. We have graded readers (Level 0~5), picture books, comic essays, manga, etc. Even 1st Yr students will be able to find books at their level. Additional activities, such as group discussions, journal writing, presentations, and shadowing may be incorporated into the class.
