JAPN 45.01 Classical Japanese Grammar and Translation Workshop
The students will first learn the basic grammar and vocabulary of classical Japanese through the textbook and workbook, rather than lectures given by the instructor. Class time is spent on comparing the students’ answers to clarify specific difficulties and doing new exercises as a group. Once the basics are introduced and learned, the students will translate excerpts of classical literature, such as the Tale of Genji and Hojoki, as homework and compare their works in class.
