This is an intermediate/advanced Japanese language course that is designed to further develop oral and written communication skills that are needed when you use Japanese for professional purposes. The use of Japanese for professional purposes is different from that for academic purposes or survival purposes. This course aims to develop the ability to understand and produce the Japanese used in a variety of situations and circumstances related to professional (business and formal) settings. Topics include introduction to correct/effective use of keigo (honorific language), office and phone conversation, writing resume and cover letters, job interviews, conducting research (questionnaire and interview), effective presentation skills and public speaking skills, etc. This course is particularly recommended for those who wish to do an internship in Japan in the future.
