Townsville, Cairns

HECS Band 1

Contact hours to be determined in consultation with students and institutions participating in the program. Semester 1.

Available to any student with an appropriate level of Japanese. Students should consult the discipline coordinator of Japanese.

Students enrolled in the subject are required to spend two semesters abroad studying in an approved program. The precise content of the subject will be negotiated between staff, students and the receiving overseas institution(s). In broad terms, however, the subject will consist of an in-depth practical study of communication in the target language through interaction on a daily basis with speakers of the target language. Outcomes will include the ability to communicate effectively in the target language.

The precise form of assessment tasks and instruments will be determined by negotiation between the staff, students and the receiving overseas institution(s). In general terms, however, assessment will involve judging the four macroskills of listening, reading, speaking and writing, together with cultural sensitivity, through the completion of a range of appropriate tasks. Equal weight will be given to each of the macroskills.
