Japanese Language Program for Elementary Students
In this Capstone course, students will work with elementary school programs that offer Japanese or Chinese in the Portland area, by assisting a classroom teacher and developing teaching materials. Students will also work on promotion of foreign language education at the elementary level. The class will address various issues pertaining to foreign language learning and teaching, including US language policy, multiple intelligences, Japanese/Chinese language/culture, and diversity. At least Second Year level of language proficiency is recommended, but not a requirement. http://www.jpncapstone.unst.pdx.edu/.

Project
The final project will be presented during the last class hours. Students (individually or as a group of 2 to 3, depending on the school assignment) will showcase their off-campus activity. It will be a combination of a poster session (exhibit material) and a presentation (demonstrating an activity, show and tell, etc.). The activity to be presented and format of presentation may vary such as a game or lesson that was most successful (simulation), a web site created for the language program (on-line presentation), and promotion activity (video-taping or poster with flyers and photos).
