This class is designed for students who have completed the elementary Japanese class. Japanese Writing A (Ⅳ) and Japanese Reading A (Ⅳ ) are continuous and we aim to improve skills of reading and writing. Since this reading class is linked to the writing A (Ⅳ) class, the themes and content of the sentences in the reading material can serve as a model for writing. This class will introduce and practice various reading strategies. Using these reading strategies, students are expected to read the material distributed before class and answer comprehension questions. During class strategies used to match the answers to the assignments and read the assignments will be reviewed. Students will also have class discussions about the reading topics. As part of an active learning activity, students will select an article from NHK Easy News and present it in class. The rest of the students will read the presenter's article as a class activity.
