| The Department of Asian Languages and Literatures |
 |
Students majoring in
Asian Languages and Literatures develop
advanced language skills and are introduced to the literary
and cultural traditions of China and Japan, from early times
to the present day. The emphasis is on oral proficiency as
well as literacy in either Chinese or Japanese.
Upper-division classes develop analytical skills through the
critical study of literary texts.
To foster as awareness and understanding of Asian cultures,
departmental courses are often interdisciplinary in
approach, introducing historical background, social,
philosophical and political issues. Students also are
encouraged to broaden their knowledge of China and Japan by
taking courses in other disciplines in the Asian Studies
program.
Many participants study for a semester or more in China and
Japan; opportunities currently include programs in Nanjing
and Taipei, Kyoto and Tokyo. On campus, students have access
to a multimedia center with state-of-the-art audio, computer
and video equipment and a growing film library. |
