Students are required to learn approximately 100 new kanji. Inclusive of previously mastered kanji, students will thus master a total estimated number of 200 kanji. Students are encouraged to learn some Japanese language skills independently, for example, through the development of various faculty-advised hobbies or interests, supplemented or aided by media resources as available. Discussions of Japanese culture continue via applied linguistic concepts. Language acquisition proceeds within the context of an integrated examination of Japanese cultural and historical reference, reflecting a rich tradition of both homogeneity and heterogeneity. The synthesis of culturally relevant materials along with the praxis of language acquisition lends itself to a fruitful promotion of cross-cultural analysis essential to a globalized world view.
