WELCOME
TO THE HOME OF MSU JAPANESE PROGRAM!
The
goal of
the Japanese
Program is to equip students, both majors and non-majors, with
functional proficiency in the language, and cultural sensitivity to and
factual knowledge about Japan. Overseas studies in Japan are strongly
recommended so that students can experience firsthand cultures which
are superficially very different from those to which they may be
accustomed, but are also similar in many ways at the level of human
interaction. Familiarity with computer technology in Japanese is
emphasized to prepare students for their futures, whatever careers they
may pursue. The dedicated (and fun-loving (^-^) ) faculty are
determined to provide students the best language training possible and
to help them broaden their world views.
Main textbooks used at MSU
The
following
is included just FYI. Most likely we'll
be changing our textbooks in JPN 202, 301, & 302 soon. Also, many
additional materials (print, DVD/video, web) are used in each course.

& ASN Course Descriptions.
