Course Description
The emphasis of this course is to improve vocabulary and kanji knowledge, in preparation for advanced level classes. In order to increase the knowledge of kanji, students are tested on kanji list given during the previous class (70-100 kanji per list) and attempt to accurately define the meaning of kanji and kanji compounds. Through this methodology students both increase the number of kanji they know and gain a clear understanding on the meaning of a word and when and how to use it, by explaining the meaning of words in Japanese. Assessment: attendance, class participation, quizzes, a midterm, and a final exam.

Course Description
Many Japanese literary works have been adapted into films, often with new interpretations. This course examines important Japanese literary works and the respective films that are adapted from them. The literary texts, chosen from a variety of sources (premodern to contemporary), demonstrate different perspectives on the Japanese literary world, and indirectly that of the Japanese culture and society. As a re-creation of the literary works, the films that are produced from these literary works, again, provide new perspectives from which literary subject or social issues can be interpreted and re-interpreted.
