日本大学语言课程介绍
日本大学不仅开设日语课程，也开设英语学位课程。英语课程主要针对国际学生。但毕竟是在日本，说日语的时候还是居多。因此上英语课程的国际学生一般也需要学点日语。这就涉及到日本大学中的语言培训课程。那么，这类课程情况怎样呢?欢迎和我爱学习网一起了解。
LANGUAGE TRAINING
语言培训
One of the most notable features of the English program is that it offersan undergraduate education in Japan which is conducted in the English language.However, while our English degree programs use English as an instructionallanguage, the world outside of the classroom is, of course, Japanese. In otherwords, there are only a limited number of situations in which students will beable get by using only English. In order for students to maintain a healthy andenjoyable life while studying and living in Japan, a degree of proficiency inthe Japanese language is imperative. It is the primary goal of the Englishprogram Japanese and Japanese Issues Course to help students develop theirabilities with the Japanese language, as well as gain an understanding of issueswhich have bearing on life, study and work here in Japan.
英语项目的一个最显著的特征就是，它在日本提供教学语言为英语的本科教育。然而，虽然筑波大学的英语学位项目教学语言为英语，课堂以外的语言仍然是日语。也就是说，只说英语的场合是比较有限的。为了让国际学生在日本保持健康愉快的学习生活，学校要求学生掌握一定日语。英语项目中的日语和日语话题课程的首要目标，便是帮助学生培养日语能力，获得对在日本生活、学习和工作相关问题的认识。
In regard to learning the Japanese language, we are concerned with helpingstudents work towards developing proficiency in using Japanese in real-lifesituations. The notion of real-life situations includes the following 3 areas.The first is ‘survival’, such as asking for directions or getting help in astore, etc. It is usually possible for students to develop these kinds oflanguage skills within their first 3 months to 1 year in Japan. The second iseveryday interpersonal interaction, such as chatting with friends, participatingin extra-curricular activities, etc. This area roughly corresponds to what somesecond language acquisition researchers refer to as BICS (Basic InterpersonalCommunication Skills). Research suggests that these language skills usuallydevelop within six months to two years after having arrived in the country wherethe language is spoken. The third is academic and professional interaction, suchas participating in classes offered in Japanese, making research presentations,participating in formal and professional activities in Japan, etc. This arearoughly corresponds to what some researchers refer to as CALP (CognitiveAcademic Language Proficiency). Research suggests that it may take five to sevenyears, or longer, for students to reach proficiency in CALP.
关于日语学习，学校考虑通过帮助学生在真实场合中使用日语来培养学生的日语能力。真实场合这个概念包括三个方面。第一个是“求生”，比如问路，在商店买东西等。一般而言，这方面的日语能力可以在学生到达日本的前三个月里获得。第二个方面是日常交际，比如和朋友聊天，参加课外活动等。这个方面与某些二语习得研究者所说的“基本人际交流技能”大致吻合。研究者指出，这些语言技能可以在学生达到目标语言国家的六个月到两年时间内获得。第三个方面是学术和职业互动，比如参与日语课堂，做研究展示，参与日本正式的职业互动等。这个方面与某些研究者所说的“认知学术语言能力”大致吻合。研究者指出，认知学术语言能力可能需要五年到七年，甚至更长的时间才能获得。
Regardless of whether students enter the program with little or no Japaneselanguage ability, a good command of basic interpersonal interactional skills, orhigher levels of language ability, it is the mission of the English programJapanese and Japanese Issues Course to help students progress as far as they canalong the path to professional level competence in Japanese, and a substantialunderstanding of Japanese cultural and social issue which have bearing on theirdaily lives in Japan.
无论学生进入项目学习的时候是否具备日语能力，是否掌握良好的基本人际交流技能或者具备高级日语能力，英语项目中的日语与日语话题课程的任务都是帮助学生在通往职业水平日语的道路上尽可能地取得进步，获得对日本文化和与日常生活相关的社会问题的足够认识。
Overview of the Structure of the Course
课程结构概况
All English program students at the University of Tsukuba will receiveJapanese language training in their first year. 4.5 credits of Japanese arerequired in first year, totaling 90 hours of in-class Japanese language tuition.However, this is only a very small part of the total picture of learning theJapanese language. In order to gain an actual ability to use Japanese inreal-life situations, students will need to put in many additional hours of timeoutside of the classroom. The classroom should be thought of as a kind of homebase from which students will plan and practice in preparation for real languageuse, and where they will evaluate their progress. Learning another languagerequires considerable work, but the benefits are commensurate with theeffort!
学习筑波大学英语项目的所有学生，在第一学年都会接受到日语培训。第一学年要求4.5个日语学分，总共90个日语课堂学时学费。不过，这只是日语学习总蓝图中的很小的一个部分。为了获得真实场合中使用日语的能力，学生课外还需要花足够的时间。课堂仅作为学生真实语言使用计划和操练的本垒，作为学生评估语言进步的场所。学习一门外语需要做大量的功课，而收获和付出是等同的。
The English program Japanese and Japanese Issues Course offers classes inJapanese as a foreign language, and in Japanese Issues. In regard to theJapanese language classes, at the elementary levels (Japanese 1~4), English isused to give instruction in Japanese grammar, and focus is placed on developingstudents’ abilities with using daily conversational language (oral, listening,pragmatic, and interactional skills), and reading and writing skills. At theintermediate/advanced levels (Japanese 5~7), the goal is to help studentsdevelop higher levels of proficiency in individual skill areas, such as grammar,speaking, listening, reading, kanji, etc. These higher-level classes are taughtin Japanese. The Japanese Issues classes are taught using the English languageas an instructional medium, and offer foundational knowledge in a broad range oftopics on Japanese society, culture, history, etc.
英语项目中的日语和日语话题课程将日语作为外语来学习，也探讨日语相关话题。说到日语课程，在基础阶段(日语1至4级)，英语被用作教学语言，用来解释日语语法，这时课程的焦点是培养学生的日常语言交流能力(口语、听力、语法、互动技能)、阅读和写作技能。在中间阶段(日语5至7级)，课程的目标是帮助学生培养个人技能方面的中级日语能力，比如语法、口语、听力、阅读、认识日本汉字等。这些中级课程用日语授课。日语话题课程则用英语授课，为学生提供日本社会、文化、历史等话题相关的基本知识。
In addition to their required 4.5 credits of Japanese, English programstudents are strongly encouraged to continue studying Japanese autonomously atthe Center for Education for Global Communication. The CEGLOC at the Universityof Tsukuba is proud to have one of the best Japanese language training programsin Japan, with numerous experienced faculty members helping students progress insteps towards their Japanese language learning goals. English program studentswho have ability commensurate with the Japanese 4 level (documentable by sittingfor a placement test offered at the beginning of every term) are eligible totake individual language skills classes at the CEGLOC. Classes are offered ingrammar, speaking, listening, reading, kanji, etc., and are tailored to a rangeof skill levels from intermediate-low to Advanced-high/Superior proficiency.
除了要求的4.5个日语学分，学校还积极鼓励英语项目学生在全球教育交流中心继续自学日语。筑波大学的全球教育交流中心拥有日本最好的日语培训项目，有众多经验丰富的教师帮助学习在实现日语学习目标上取得进步。掌握日语四级(通过参加每学期开始组织的分级考试来检验)的英语项目的学生有资格在全球教育交流中心学习单门语言技能课程。课程涉及语法、口语、听力、阅读、日本汉字等，适合中下级到高级日语水平的各层次的学生。
An important additional resource for English program students studying theJapanese language and Japanese issues is the Center for Distance Learning ofJapanese and Japanese Issues. The University of Tsukuba has been appointed as aCenter for Distance Learning of Japanese and Japanese Issues by the Minister ofEducation, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. To date, a variety ofmaterials, such as Japanese language textbooks, audio visual language learningmaterials, web-based Japanese proficiency tests, etc., have been developed atthe International Student Center. Based on these experiences and achievements,the Center for Distance Learning of Japanese and Japanese Issues is developingand operating a new bi-directional e-learning system, and related educationalmaterials. This e-learning system supports students’ individually paced studiesof the Japanese language and Japanese Issues. Global 30 students should takeadvantage of these and other online learning resources both before and aftercoming to Japan.
对于学习日语与日语话题的英语项目学生，还有一个重要的学习资源，就是日语与日语话题远程教育中心。在日本文部科学省的批准下，筑波大学设置列了该学习中心。迄今为止，国际学生中心汇集了各种学习材料，比如日语教材、语言学习视听材料、网上日语能力测试等。基于这些经历和成就，日语与日语话题远程教育中心目前在发展和运营新的双向电子学习系统，聚集有教育相关材料。该电子学系系统为学生的日语与日语话题学习提供基于个人节奏的帮助。Global30的学生应该在来日本之前和来日本之后利用好这些资源以及其他线上学习资源。
