Bachelor of Arts in World Languages and Literatures - Japanese

University of Alabama Birmingham - INTO USA

When you study Japanese you are not just learning new characters or words. You will explore a country with an ancient and rich culture that has one of the largest economies in the world. Japan is a center of technological and cultural innovation, and Japanese speakers are the Internet’s third largest language group.At UAB our emphasis is on communication. That means that instead of just learning grammar rules and vocabulary lists, you will learn to use Japanese as a tool of communication - communicating with other students, with your instructors, and with other Japanese speakers both locally and in Japan. At UAB, learning Japanese helps to bridge the linguistic and cultural gap between Japan and the US, and you will find many opportunities to be that bridge.
