The Training Program for Teachers of Japanese is an intensive seven-week training program which develops participants' Japanese language teaching skills through lectures, master classes, workshops, and hands-on teaching. All the courses of this program are closely integrated with the intensive Japanese language program, another component of The Ohio State University's SPEAC (Summer Programs East Asian Concentration). Participants of the Training Program for Teachers of Japanese are furnished with abundant opportunities to practice their newly acquired teaching skills with actual learners. Professor Mari Noda of The Ohio State University, co-author of Japanese: The Spoken Language, is director of the Training Program for Teachers of Japanese. Applicants should have a high level of competency in both the Japanese and English languages.
Credits: The Training Program in Teaching Japanese consists of three graduate level courses: EALL (East Asian Languages and Literatures) 700, 703, and 704. Participants will receive a total of fifteen graduate credits at the program's completion. EALL 704 is worth seven credits, and 700 and 703 are worth four credits each.
Course Information:
1. SPEAC TJ: EALL 700
Learning East Asian Languages in Cross-Cultural Contexts: College Level
Objectives: Develop a clear understanding of what it means for American learners to develop interactive, performative abilities in Japanese. Participants will learn how to articulate and apply these principles in developing a coherent Japanese language program.
General Description: This course introduces through lectures and discussion the principles of teaching Japanese at American colleges. Special attention will be given to the challenges of inculcating and assessing performative knowledge of Japanese, which is linguistically and culturally distant from American English.

Summer 2008
June 16 ~ August 15, 15 Undergraduate Credits
ACT 1-00 Intensive for J1 [PDF]
. The Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures (DEALL), in cooperation with The Ohio State University's National East Asian Language Resource Center (NEALRC), offers intensive summer programs in Japanese language at levels I, II, and IV as part of Summer Program East Asian Concentration, or SPEAC. The first level course takes students from zero ability to basic communicative competence and familiarity with the writing system. The second level course moves students with previous language ability toward greater fluency. The fourth level course enables learners to continue their language training through explorations in the native culture. Anyone from high school through graduate school who would like to get a start on or make further progress toward fluency is welcome to apply.
These courses are designed and implemented by regular OSU faculty. Courses will meet for up to five hours each day for ten weeks. Hours are divided between FACT hours, in which the instructor provides explanations about the language and culture in English, and ACT hours, in which you get a chance to perform in the language. Participants receive fifteen credits at the program's completion. Applicants who submit their application materials prior to March 9 will receive priority consideration for admission and fellowships. The final deadline is March 23.
OSU also offers intensive courses (10 class hours per week) at the intermediate-level during the regular academic year. A beginning student may combine the summer and academic year intensive programs and reach the proficiency level normally attained through four years or regular study in only fifteen months. The intensive path is important for Japanese, which is more time consuming for American students to learn than other languages. SPEAC provides a unique opportunity to accelerate your study of Japanese.
