Sophia
University, Tokyo
Summer Session
of Asian Studies
For over 40 years Sophia
University's Summer Session of Asian Studies has provided the
opportunity for both students and teachers to study and reflect
on the relation of Japan, Asia, and the world. Located in one
of the many "hearts" of Tokyo, the Summer Session allows
participants not only the chance to experience aspects of Japanese
culture and society themselves but also to witness the myriad
ways in which the cultures of the world are both present and
reflected in the maze-like urban landscape of Tokyo.
The Summer Session
also enables participants to experience a number of different
perspectives on Japan. The faculty themselves represent a range
of cultural backgrounds, and students from roughly a dozen different
countries participate in the Summer Session each year. A large
number of Japanese students, both from abroad and from Sophia's
Faculty of Comparative Culture, also attend the classes. Class
discussions and interaction among students thus also provide
occasions for reflecting on how our various cultural backgrounds
shape our understanding of Japan and the world at large.
Dates: July 23
- August 16, 2002
Six upper-level undergraduate
credits can be earned. In addition to the 20 sessions of 90 minutes,
each course requires supervised participation in a number of tours,
special events, and lectures. The Japanese language course also
requires additional class time in the language laboratory. Teachers
interested in graduate or continuing education credits should contact
the Summer Session Office.
Courses offered: The
Rise of the Japanese Economy, Basic Japanese 1-A, Japanese Theater,
Japanese Religions, Survey of Japanese Art, Comparative Asian Industrial
Systems, Japanese History: Edo and Tokyo, Basic Japanese
1-B, Contemporary Japanese Culture and Society, Japanese Business
and Management, Japanese Literature and the City, Contemporary
Chinese Society.
Cost of Tuition:
130,000 yen covering two courses (accommodations not included)

In addition to the four language skills, this course is designed to cover

speaking people. Upon completion of the first-year sequence, the students

history, experiences, familiar people and
places with ease. (12 units)
20. Intensive Second Year Jpn. Language, Culture and Communication

Students completing the second year course are able to express in spoken
and written Japanese advanced concepts, i.e., comparisons and contrasts in
customs of the two cultures, descriptions of incidents students experienced,
and awareness of going beyond their immediate, familiar topics to more community
level, such as social issues. This course is a rigorous preparation for those
who will be reading authentic materials such as newspaper, essays, and novellas
in the third-year level. (12 units)
130. Intensive Third Year Jpn. Language, Culture, and Communication
B
This course advances Japanese communication skills to the higher level to
be able to express thoughts on more abstract concepts, both spoken and written.
Materials include current Japanese media and literature, e.g., newspaper,
magazine, book excerpts written for native speakers of Japanese, and video
clips from Japanese TV shows and dramas. Discussions on various cultural
and social topics are provided to deepen students' knowledge on Japan and
its people. Exposures to authentic Japanese materials enhance the students'
communicative competence in their four skills of language (speaking, listening,
reading, and writing). (12 units)
Courses will be supplemented by language lab facilities, and by
other activities such as video showings, field trips to Japanese
art exhibits, and tea ceremony demonstrations, to which all students
