By the end of the beginning-level sequence (Japanese 001 and 002), students attain mastery of the basic structure of the language and acquire ability to have a conversation on everyday topics, as well as read and write at an elementary level. In the intermediate-level sequence (Japanese 003 and 004), empha\u0002sis is put on gradually raising students' ability to speak, read, and write on broader topics. Although not required in the degree, a conversation class is available for students who wish to increase their oral proficiency. Japanese 009, Japanese Civilization, is taught in English and intro\u0002duces the student to the study of Japanese history and culture. Students who have taken Japanese courses in high school or at other institutions should consult the department to determine which class best fits their language level. TRANSFER STUDENTS Completing the Associate Degree does not necessarily meet the university-admission requirements for transfer. An Associate Degree is not a requirement for transfer to either the CSU or UC campuses. 127   GENERAL CATALOG 2021-2022 Private and out-of-state colleges and universities have unique transfer requirements. However, if you would like to transfer to a university and earn an associate degree, early educational planning can make this goal achievable. You should meet with a counselor early in your studies to develop an Educational Plan that fulfills both transfer requirements and associate degree requirements. See page 286 of this catalog for more information on transfer requirements and resources. PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon completion of this program, students will: • Demonstrate intermediate-level oral proficiency in the Japanese language as defined by the ACTFL guidelines. • Demonstrate intermediate-level proficiency in writing and read\u0002ing comprehension in the Japanese language. • Develop the ability to use appropriate speech styles and levels of politeness in communication. •  Articulate fundamental knowledge of the society, culture, and history of Japan.\n\nPlease see the college Catalog for the most up-to-date description."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["_:6f7cb6d3-4510-4308-83ff-d29c489612c5"],"ceterms:dateEffective":"2019-08-01","ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.bls.gov/soc/","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/25-1124.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"25-1124.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Foreign Language and Literature Teachers, Postsecondary"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Teach languages and literature courses in languages other than English.
