This is a nine-week intensive, 8-credit course that meets only in the summer, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., beginning from an absolute introductory level introducing the spoken and written language. Lectures on linguistics and cultural matters, intensive practice with native speakers, and laboratory work prepare students for an intermediate level of study. This course involves work on all four skills: speaking, listening comprehension, reading, and writing. Students who successfully complete this course and plan to continue at Cornell may take the fall and spring FALCON courses (JAPAN 2260 and JAPAN 3360 ). Students interested in other options for continuing after FALCON should consult the FALCON director, Robert Sukle, at rjs19@cornell.edu or 255-0734.
