japn420: MAximizing study abroad
Course description: "Your study abroad experience is potentially a rich opportunity for you to enhance your language skills and deepen your understanding of other cultures, people and their practices. This course provides the resources to help you prepare to maximize your study abroad experiences."
MLOs addressed in this course:
- MLO 5: Cultural Internalization and Language Immersion
In JAPN420, our primary goals involved us getting ready for our year long study abroad experience. I was accepted into Toyo univeristy in Tokyo, Japan, and the first half of the class focused on us preparing and sending off our applications. During that time, we also learned about cultural learning strategies and developed a list of goals that we wanted to complete in Japan. We also started on our LESCANT photo project, which essentially allowed us a medium to post photos from our trips in Japan, but also allowed us to reflect on those moments.
