• To be present at the course a regular way (more 80%) is a primordial condition to get access to the evaluation process.
• Steady evaluation of speaking and writing abilities during academic year.
• Final examination at the end of the academic year, to evaluate grammar, writing, listening and dictation skills. This exam probably occurs out of official exam sessions.
   

A traditional class teaching method and interactive learning method are both used. One is particularly used to provide the students with explanations of grammar and kanji, and the other is used to offer more opportunities to them to take part in the discovery, practice and master of new grammar topics and vocabulary.
 

Enrichment of Japanese Language skills (grammar, writing and reading) and improvement of communication level (oral and aural expression).
At this stage of learning, the student should take more initiative to realize an interactive class atmosphere.
 

New grammar topics and vocabulary are introduced by the teacher in an interactive exchange with students, rather than thought in a traditional way - based on textbooks. The exercises and complementary explanation of grammar will be inspired by the following books :

1. Japanese for Busy People I, II, Association for Japanese Language Teaching, Kana version, Tokyo, 2006.
2. Leçons de japonais, Arimasa Mori, Librairie Taishukan, Tokyo, 1972.

Since the teacher is a native speaker, this course contains naturally a part devoted to 'Cultural topics', in which students can discover and get familiar with several Japanese customs, traditional and contemporary Japanese society.
This approach will help to understand some of Japanese grammatical rules and special expressions particular to this language.
