Asia in Today's World (ATW) is a Japanese language & Asian studies summer program in English for university students in any major.
ATW provides all the participants with a unique study opportunity by combining Asian Studies courses (ASC) and Japanese Language Courses (JLC). Broadening the knowledge and gaining deeper understanding about Japan and neighboring countries through ASC, students will be able to be aware of various sociocultural context of the Japanese language. The combination of ASC and JLC contributes to the students’ synthetic understanding of the Japanese language.
Courses
The ATW curriculum design provides a uniquely productive educational experience relating Asian Studies courses (ASC) to Japanese Language courses (JLC) in a synergistic learning opportunity for students. As they broaden and deepen their knowledge and appreciation of Japan and its neighboring countries through the ASC offerings, students are made aware of the various sociocultural contexts of communication, thereby enhancing their synthetic understanding of the Japanese language as developed in the JLC.
The program requires students to enroll for credit in two of four available Asian Studies offerings (see below) and in one skill level-appropriate Japanese language course. Selections should accord with the student's home university study plan. Those who satisfy all ATW expectations will be awarded a certificate of program completion in recognition of their effort.
