Brief description of the course
During the course, students reach a proficiency level approximating CEFR A2 and JLPT N4. The curriculum covers complex grammatical structures, including the conditional, imperative, passive, causative, and causative-passive forms, as well as Japanese polite forms (keigo). Students learn 108 new kanji characters (317 in total) and develop the ability to handle specific everyday situations while adapting their communication style to the target audience and cultural context. The course fosters learner autonomy, cooperation, and initiative in solving linguistic challenges. Digital learning tools are used purposefully throughout the process. Students set personal learning goals, analyze their own learning process, and take responsibility for completing their learning assignments.
